%0 Journal Article %T Fault Tolerant Control Design For Polytopic LPV Systems %A Mickael Rodrigues %A Didier Theilliol %A Samir Aberkane %A Dominique Sauter %J International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science %D 2007 %I %R 10.2478/v10006-007-0004-5 %X This paper deals with a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) strategy for polytopic Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems. The main contribution consists in the design of a Static Output Feedback (SOF) dedicated to such systems in the presence of multiple actuator faults/failures. The controllers are synthesized through Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) in both fault-free and faulty cases in order to preserve the system closed-loop stability. Hence, this paper provides a new sufficient (but not necessary) condition for the solvability of the stabilizing output feedback control problem. An example illustrates the effectiveness and performances of the proposed FTC method. %K fault tolerant control %K multiple actuator failures %K polytopic LPV systems %K LMI %K static output feedback %K stability %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/9j24210735557075/?p=be7996dea89541d69c254d6a57cb6b42&pi=3
