Design of Reliable Control Systems Possessing Actuator Redundancies

Theexplicitdee nitionsof actuatorredundancies areintroduced. Adesign schemeis then presented to synthesize reliable control against actuator failures for dynamic systems possessing actuator redundancies. The properly designed controller is able to guarantee the stability and to maintain the steady-state tracking performance in the event of actuator failures. The design method is based on a robust regional eigenvalue assignment technique with the help of a precompensator. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been verie ed using an example of the aircraft bank angle control problem.
