Abstract

This article investigates the adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant control problem for a class of strict-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems with quantized input signal. A hysteretic quantizer is utilized to avoid chattering caused by quantized input signals. The fuzzy-logic systems are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions and also to construct the fuzzy state observer, which is used to estimate the immeasurable state vector. The actuator faults considered in this article are loss of effectiveness and lock-in-place faults. By using the Lyapunov stability theory, the closed-loop stochastic nonlinear system is guaranteed to be stable in probability, and all the signals of the closed-loop system are bounded in probability in the presence of quantized input and actuator faults. Finally, a simulation example is given to verify the validity of the proposed control strategy.
