Diagnosis, Fault Detection & Tolerant Control (eBook)

This book focuses on unhealthy cyber-physical systems. Consisting of 14 chapters, it discusses recognizing the beginning of the fault, diagnosing the appearance of the fault, and stopping the system or switching to a special control mode known as fault-tolerant control. Each chapter includes the background, motivation, quantitative development (equations), and case studies/illustration/tutorial (simulations, experiences, curves, tables, etc.). Readers can easily tailor the techniques presented to accommodate their ad hoc applications.

Nabil Derbel is a Professor in Control Systems Theory at the Electrical Engineering Department of The 'National Engineering School of Sfax', University of Sfax, Tunisia. He received his engineering Diploma from the 'Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Sfax' in 1986, the 'Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies' in Automatic control from the 'Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Toulouse' in 1986, the 'Doctorat d'Université' degree from the 'Laboratoire d'Automatique et d'Analyse des Systèmes de Toulouse' in 1989, and the 'Doctorat d'Etat' degree from the' Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Tunis'. His current interests include: Optimal Control, Sliding Mode Control, Complex Systems, Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks. He is the author and the co-author of more than 100 papers published in international Journals and of more than 500 papers published in international conferences. Currently, Professor Derbel is associate editor of International Journal of Modelling, Identification and Control, the editor of International Journal of Digital Signals and Smart Systems, and co-editor (and co-founder) of Transactions on Systems, Signals & Devices, an International Journal, which has been renamed in 2017 as Advances in Systems, Signals & Devices. He has edited a book for Springer entitled 'Applications of sliding mode control', in 2017.
