First, NSV reentry mode is described, and the actuator failure model is developed whose behavior is described by high-order dynamics. Next, the multi-model based fault diagnosis and identification (FDI) algorithm is proposed for high order actuator dynamics, which can accurately diagnose and identify the fault in short time. Based on sliding mode, command filter, and backstepping technique, using information of FDI, a constrained fault tolerant control (FTC) is designed for reentry NSV. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and potential of the proposed FTC scheme.en© 2013 The Franklin Institute.Journal article002013174110.1016/j.jfranklin.2013.02.0250003241706000102-s2.0-8488420189218077Shi, P.
