Background on Fault Tolerant Control

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

Fault tolerant control (FTC) is the name given to all those techniques that are capable of maintaining the overall system stability and acceptable performance in the presence of faults. In other words, a closed-loop system which can tolerate component malfunctions, while maintaining desirable performance and stability properties is said to be a fault tolerant control system (FTCS). Starting from the 80s, FTC applications began to appear in the scientific literature, mainly motivated by aircraft flight control system designs.
