The increased complexity in system and more needs of advanced and complicated actuators and sensors towards higher level of automation and autonomy in different engineering applications render the engineering systems susceptible to faults, which may significantly degrade the control performance or even cause catastrophic accidents. Recently, fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) techniques are widely used to diagnose and tolerant the actuator/sensor faults, respectively. However, the capabilities of the traditional FDD and FTC methods are significantly degraded when the actuator or sensor faults are encountered by the highly nonlinear engineering systems (such as unmanned aerial/ground/surface/underwater vehicles, high-speed trains) with various internal physical constraints and external disturbances. Therefore, combining with new developments on big-data, adaptive learning, intelligent control, etc., latest developments on the FDD and FTC techniques will be intensively pursued in this special section.
Scope of Topics
This special section aims to feature the new developments and the state-of-the-art FDD and FTC methodologies for highly complex systems, and provide a platform for academic researchers and practice engineers to share their recent and new results in FDD and FTC techniques. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to
● New FDD/FTC technique for highly complex engineering systems
● Distributed FDD/FTC in networked nonlinear systems
● Intelligent FDD/FTC technique for safe-critical systems
● Learning-based FDD/FTC techniques
● Event-triggered FTC/FTC techniques
● Finite/Fixed-time FDD/FTC methods
● FDD/FTC techniques in cyber-physical systems
