Abstract
In this article, we propose a new adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant control (FTC) for a three-dimensional riser-vessel system with unknown backlash nonlinearity. A model for the smooth inverse dynamics of the backlash is introduced; then, the control input is divided into an expected input and a compensation error. Considering the imprecision of system modeling and unknown external disturbances, we employ a fuzzy adaptive technology to achieve compensation. By incorporating the actuator fault term and backlash error, the adaptive FTC is developed to resolve loss faults in the actuator and compensate for the unknown backlash to some extent. The direct Lyapunov method is used to demonstrate the system’s bounded stability. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the derived scheme.
