ABSTRACT |
An adaptive fault-tolerant anti-rollover fuzzy system is proposed to improve the anti-rollover performance
of counterbalanced forklifts. Considering the actual control input, various unpredictable actuator failure models in the
system are established. Based on the three degree-of-freedom (DOF) model of a counterbalanced forklift, an anti-rollover
Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy system is established. The stability of this anti-rollover system is analyzed to ensure its
stability under specific control inputs and external disturbances. When the upper limits of actuator faults and disturbances
are unknown, an adaptive fault-tolerant control method is designed to update the controller parameters. The sufficient
conditions for the stability of the forklift anti-rollover system in the presence of actuator faults and external disturbances
are given using the Lyapunov stability theory. Simulation and real vehicle tests based on MATLAB/Simulink show that
the anti-rollover system with adaptive fault-tolerant control can reduce impacts effectively and quickly after the actuator
fails, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the forklift. |
