0 Introduction

As engineering systems and industrial processes become more and more complex，the requirements for system reliability and security are continuously growing．Once the system fails，it may lead to performance degradation，sometimes even system break－down．So，this necessity has motivated a significant research in the modelbased fault tolerant control （FTC）techniques which need early fault detection （FD）and isolation （FI）［1－4］．

The most common approaches for modelbased FD are based on the state or parameter estimation schemes，which employ techniques such as the adaptive observer［5］，the sliding mode observer［6］and the geometric approaches［7］．Among these studies，adaptive observer－based approaches have been extensively considered due to their extensive applicability and good fault reconstruction capability［5，8－14］．An adaptive observer has been employed to diagnose the actuator and sensor faults in the linear time－varying systems in Ref．［8］．This scheme needs certain necessary conditions which limits its application．Zhang et al．presented a fault diagnosis and isolation scheme for a class of Lipschitz，uncertain nonlinear systems with partial state measurements［13］，while the fault functions are assumed to be linear in parameters with known functions．Recently，neural networks（NNS）has been applied to the fault diagnosis problem because of its good capabilities in function approximation［15－16］．An adaptive fault diagnosis scheme was developed［15］where neural network was employed to approximate the nonlinearities．Multiplicative actuator fault detection scheme using online neural network learning are designed and analyzed，but the faults are not estimated［16］．

Fault accommodation is the strategy to achieve desired performance where the controller reacts to the occurrence of faults［17－22］．A fault tolerant controller was proposed based on adaptive observer［18］，but the solution between the fault estimation observer and fault tolerant control was in a certain coupling．In Ref．［21］，a new method of fault accommodation scheme was proposed with the neural network to approximate the nonlinear system，while the system state was known before hand．

The motivation of our work is to establish a novel adaptive fault estimation and accommodation scheme for Lipschitz nonlinear systems subject to actuator or component faults．To estimate the fault，an observer based on adaptive control and neural network techniques is designed．Then，a fault tolerant controller is developed to compensate for the fault effects for the systems．

3 Fault Tolerant Controller

In many applications，especially those involving safety－critical systems，it is important not only to detect and estimate the characteristic and magnitude of any faults but also to accommodate them as soon as possible．The goal of fault－tolerant control is to maintain dynamic performance in case of failure．In this section，a fault tolerant controller is developed according to Ref．［21］．As the state vectorxis unavailable，the controller is constructed as

whereuH＝α（y）represents a controller that leads the normal system to achieve the desired behavior．uF＝ψ（y，）is an additional control law which should be designed to set stable the following faulty system

4 Simulation Results

In this section，the attitude control system for a quadrotor helicopter is considered to verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm．It is found that actuator of helicopter is very easy to fail，the faults of the four motors will cause the rotor speed to change abruptly or even out of control．The dynamical model of quadrotor attitude systems［23］is

J＝0．005 2，Jθ＝0．005 2，Jψ＝0．11，l＝0．197，Kt，c＝Kt，n＝0．003 6，Kfx＝Kfy＝0．008，Kfz＝0．009 1．，θandψdenote roll angle，pitch angle，yaw angle，respectively；Vf，Vb，Vr，Vlthe voltage of the front，the rear，the right and the left motors，respectively；J，Jθ，Jψthe rotational inertia of roll axis，pitch axis and yaw axis；andKt，c，Kt，nthe counter and the normal rotation propeller torque－thrust constant．Kfrepresents the propeller force－thrust constant andlthe distance between the axis of any rotor and the center of mass．

The aforementioned quadrotor model can be transformed to a common model with faults and disturbances

whereVl］T．The other parameters are given as follows

In this paper，three types of faults are considered．Firstly，assuming voltage failure of the front motor occurs at 10sin the form of low amplitude which fails the helicopter to achieve the desired posture．The fault function is modeled asf（u，t）＝［－0．4 0 0 0］T．

The input of NNS is chosen as the system estimation state，the number of hidden layer nodes is 11andΓ1＝10，Γ3＝0．05I65×1whereI65×1represents a matrix of 65rows and 1column and all elements are 1．wm＝0．2，Γ2＝－0．01．By contrast， the estimation results under the RBFNN fault estimation method and conventional adaptive fault estimation method［19］are shown in Fig．1．

Fig．1 Actuator fault and its estimation

Secondly，assume that the aging of physical structure quadrotor makes voltage of the front motor to be unstable with a continuous jump，and the fault isf（t）＝［0．1sint000］T．By taking learning rateΓ1＝30，wm＝0．02，Γ2＝0．01，Γ3＝0．05I65×1，the estimation results are shown in Figs．2，3．

Fig．2 Actuator fault and its estimation（RBFNN fault estimation method）

Fig．3 Actuator fault and its estimation（conventional adaptive fault estimation method）

Thirdly，assume a physical component fault appears in the quadrotor which leads to parameter changes in the system state matrix．The fault is with the form off（x）＝［x1＋0．05 0 0 0］T．By selecting the learning rateΓ1＝15，Γ2＝0，Γ3＝0．05I65×1，the simulation result is shown in Fig．4．

In view of the above mentioned fault that voltage failure of the front motor occurs at 10s withf（u，t）＝ ［－0．4 0 0 0］T，the node of RBFNN is 11，taking the fault accommodation algorithm in Eq．（28）withΓ1＝0．035，Γ2＝0．07，Γ3＝0．05I65×1．The results are shown in Figs．5—7．It can be seen that the proposed fault tolerant controller can recover the system performance．

5 Conclusions

An adaptive fault estimation and accommodation scheme is proposed for Lipschitz nonlinear systems which are subjected to disturbances and faults．Based on adaptive state observer and RBFNN techniques，a robust adaptive learning algorithm based on switchingβs－modification is developed to estimate the states of the system and actuator or component faults effectively．Meanwhile，not only the weight，but also the centre vector of RBFNN is updated online．Then，a fault tolerant controller is designed to restore system performance．Finally，the simulation results of quadrotor attitude systems validate the efficiency of the proposed techniques．
