Thesis
Nie, C. Observer-based robust fault estimation for fault-tolerant control. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214151

A control system is fault-tolerant if it possesses the capability of optimizing the system stability and admissible performance subject to bounded faults, complexity and modeling uncertainty. Based on this definition this thesis is concerned with the... Read More about Observer-based robust fault estimation for fault-tolerant control.
