Journal Article
Patton, R. J., Uppal, F. J., Simani, S., & Polle, B. (2008). Reliable fault diagnosis scheme for a spacecraft attitude control system. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part O, Journal of risk and reliability, 222(2), 139-152. https://doi.org/10.1243/1748006xjrr98

This paper presents a scheme for fault detection and isolation (FDI) of on-board gyroscope sensors and thrusters for spacecraft attitude control, based on the example of the Mars Express (MEX) satellite. The main contribution of the paper is related... Read More about Reliable fault diagnosis scheme for a spacecraft attitude control system.

A generic strategy for fault-tolerance in control systems distributed over a network (2007)
Journal Article
Patton, R. J., Kambhampati, C., Casavola, A., Zhang, P., Ding, S., & Sauter, D. (2007). A generic strategy for fault-tolerance in control systems distributed over a network. European journal of control / EUCA, European Control Association, 13(2-3), 280-296. https://doi.org/10.3166/ejc.13.280-296

This paper provides a tutorial overview, of a number of aspects and approaches to Control over the Network for Network Control Systems (NCS) that are likely to lead to good fault-tolerant control properties, subject to network faults. In order to ana... Read More about A generic strategy for fault-tolerance in control systems distributed over a network.

Fault diagnosis of an industrial gas turbine prototype using a system identification approach (2007)
Journal Article
Simani, S., & Patton, R. J. (2008). Fault diagnosis of an industrial gas turbine prototype using a system identification approach. Control engineering practice, 16(7), 769-786. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conengprac.2007.08.009

In this work, a model-based procedure exploiting analytical redundancy for the detection and isolation of faults on a gas turbine simulated process is presented. The main point of the paper consists of exploiting an identification scheme in connectio...

An interaction predictive approach to fault-tolerant control in network control systems (2007)
Journal Article
Kambhampati, C., Perkgoz, C., Patton, R. J., & Ahamed, W. (2007). An interaction predictive approach to fault-tolerant control in network control systems. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering, 221(6), 885-894. https://doi.org/10.1243/09596518jsce377

This paper illustrates some of the capabilities of previously proposed network control system (NCS) architectures to carry on functioning in the event of faults, without recourse to system reconfiguration. The principle of interaction prediction is u... Read More about An interaction predictive approach to fault-tolerant control in network control systems.

Observing a three-tank system (2005)
Journal Article
Hou, M., Xiong, Y., & Patton, R. (2005). Observing a three-tank system. IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 13(3), 478-484. https://doi.org/10.1109/TCST.2004.839578

Observability analysis and observer synthesis are studied for a three-tank water process. Observability of the process is considered under various assumptions on measurements. The observer design takes into account singularity of nonlinear observers.... Read More about Observing a three-tank system.

An observer design for linear time-delay systems (2002)
Journal Article
Hou, M., Zítek, P., & Patton, R. J. (2002). An observer design for linear time-delay systems. IEEE transactions on automatic control, 47(1), 121-125. https://doi.org/10.1109/9.981730

An observer design is proposed for linear systems with time delay. The key of the design is to find a generalized coordinate change such that in the new coordinates all the time-delay terms are injected by the system's output. The existence of such a...

Model based methods for sensor fault-tolerant control of rail vehicle traction (1998)
Thesis
Bennett, S. (1998). Model based methods for sensor fault-tolerant control of rail vehicle traction. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4212732

This thesis explores the application of modem fault-detection methods to electric rail traction drives. Such drives consist of three main components, induction motors, power inverters and the control system. The power electronics are relatively simpl...

Output feedback sliding mode FTC for a class of nonlinear inter-connected systems
Presentation / Conference
Patton, R. J., & Huang, Z. Output feedback sliding mode FTC for a class of nonlinear inter-connected systems. Paper presented at IFAC-PapersOnLine

This paper is concerned with the challenge of developing a fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme for an inter-connected decentralised system in which the individual subsystems are linear but the inter-connections are non-linear functions of the subsyst...
