In this paper, a novel adaptive fuzzy output feedback fault-tolerant control (FTC) method is proposed for active suspension systems. The quarter active suspension systems studied in this paper contains electromagnetic actuator faults and unavailable state variables, such as the velocity of active suspensions and the electric current intensity of electromagnetic actuators. First, the complex spring nonlinear dynamics are approximated by fuzzy logic systems (FLSs), and the unmeasurable states are estimated by a fuzzy state observer. Based on an adaptive backstepping technique along with specific Lyapunov functions, a novel adaptive fuzzy output feedback FTC design is presented. To eliminate the need for knowing efficiency indexes, a fault compensation strategy is also developed by utilizing parameter estimation technique. In the presence of electromagnetic actuator failure, all vertical vibration states of the active suspension system remain stabilized. Eventually, the feasibility of the proposed control algorithm is evaluated through random road surface and bump road surface tests.
