title: Unknown Input Observer Design for Interval Type-2 T-S Fuzzy Systems With Immeasurable Premise Variables.
abstract: This paper deals with the problem of robust unknown input fault detection observers (UIFDOs) design for interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with immeasurable premise variables. It has been shown that choosing the system states, which may be immeasurable, as premise variables, will able us to model a larger class of nonlinear systems. Accordingly, the premise variables of underlying system are considered to be immeasurable. However, the design procedure of a stable observer for such systems are more challenging. Furthermore, the system is supposed be affected by time-varying delays and unknown inputs. The UIFDO is exploited so as to generate a residual signal with the most possible sensitivity to fault and the least sensitivity to exogenous signals. In this paper, this issue is investigated thoroughly, in this respect the design procedure consists of two sections: 1) measurable and 2) immeasurable premise variables. Sufficient design conditions are provided in terms of linear matrix inequalities for both cases. The effectiveness of the proposed UIFDO in detection of two different kinds of faults is illustrated during the simulation of a numerical example. Moreover, a fair comparison has been drawn between the proposed UIFDO and an existent reference to indicate that interval type-2 T-S fuzzy model is more superior than type-1. Finally, the faulty behavior of a one-link manipulator is investigated to express the applicability of the proposed method.
