| Abstract: | This research studies the problem of fault detection observer design for two-dimensional (2-D) continuous-time nonlinear systems in Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) form. Finite frequency (FF) specifications are used to design the observers, which makes observer designing different from previously proposed 2-D detection observers. Faults and disturbances are considered to be dominated in two different FF domain intervals. Fault sensitivity and disturbance robustness are measured by two FF performance indices, respectively. The aim of this paper is to design fault detection observers such that the residual error system has the sensitivity to faults and the desired robustness to disturbances. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a desired fault detection fuzzy observer are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Simulation results indicate that faults can be detected effectively using the proposed method. |
