Faults and failures in the system components are two main reasons for the instability and the
degradation in control performance. In recent decades, fault-tolerant control (FTC) …

Contents The problem of observer design naturally arises in a system approach, as soon as
one needs some internal information from external (directly available) measurements. In …

Fault Detection and Fault-tolerant Control Using Sliding Modes is the first text dedicated to
showing the latest developments in the use of sliding-mode concepts for fault detection and …

Sliding mode observers have unique properties, in that the ability to generate a sliding
motion on the error between the measured plant output and the output of the observer …

At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

This book is a collection of the Plenary and Semiplenary talks in the joint 11th IEEE
Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS2010) and the principal meeting for the …

This paper considers the problem of designing an observer for a linear system subject to
unknown inputs. This problem has been extensively studied in the literature with respect to …

A new sliding mode observer for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems is proposed in this
article. The proposed sliding mode observer works under much less conservative conditions …

A second-order sliding-mode observer based on the modified super-twisting algorithm
providing finite time observation is applied for system identification. The value of the …

This article highlights the interest of step-by-step higher order sliding mode observers for
Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with unknown inputs. A structural …
