Robust reliable tracking controller design against actuator faults for LPV systems with state feedback

This paper studies the robust reliable tracking controller design problem against actuator faults for linear parameter varying (LPV) systems. First, model of actuator faults is presented. Then a reliable robust tracking controller design method is developed. This method is based on a newly proposed stability condition for LPV systems, which is a more general condition than the existed results. An important contribution of this method is that it could handle the actuator outage faults case without performance degradation due to the extra freedom degree introduced by a new slack variable in the stability condition. An example for autopilot design of a bank-to-turn (BTT) missile is given to show the effectiveness and superiority of our method.
