From the reviews: “An introduction to model-based fault detection and isolation (FDI) and fault tolerant control (FTC). … The book can easily be read and understood and should be particularly useful for graduate students and practicing control engineers.” (Adrian-Mihail Stoica, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 i) “Engineers and researchers interested in designing fault-tolerant control systems for application to real ... Read moreplants will find this book of interest. After introducing model-based fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control methods, sensor and actuator fault-tolerant control design is discussed for systems with various types of nonlinearities. The design of fault-tolerant control systems is described in detail using three applications, namely, a winding machine, a hydraulic three-tank system, and an active suspension system.” (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 30, August, 2010) “The present monograph is one of very few books in this area that considers practical aspects of fault-tolerant control … . the authors have successfully presented some of the most important concepts and procedures in fault-tolerant control system design and analysis. They have done this with elegance of mathematics, as well as in-depth physical understanding of the limitations of handicapped actuators and sensors.” (Romeo Negrea, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1215, 2011) Show Less
