Active Fault Tolerant Control in Prospective

Abstract

There has been significant research for AFTCS design. Unfortunately, most of research is scattered in the literature and considers only the individual elements of AFTCS. Some work has been completed to combine different blocks of AFTCS together and to study performance of the overall AFTCS. The issue of merging blocks of FTCS seems to be easy task in principle, unfortunately, this is not the case in reality [204, 202, 203]. The main difficulty that arises when combining the blocks in AFTCS is that each individual block is assumed to operate perfectly and is readily available to provide decisions/actions instantaneously to other blocks.
