In this paper, a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) strategy for Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems that can be used in the case of actuator faults is proposed. The idea of this FTC method is to adapt the faulty plant instead of adapting the controller to the faulty plant. This approach can be seen as a kind of virtual actuator. An integrated FTC design procedure for the fault identification and fault-tolerant control schemes using LPV techniques is provided as well. Fault identification is based on the use of an Unknown Input Observer (UIO). The FTC controller is implemented as a state feedback controller and designed using polytopic LPV techniques and Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) regions in such a way as to guarantee the closed-loop behavior in terms of several LMI constraints. To assess the performance of the proposed approach, a two degree of freedom helicopter is used. ; This work has been partially funded by the grant CICYT DPI2008-01996 of the Spanish Ministry of Education, by the Research Commission of Generalitat de Catalunya (SAC group ref. 2005SGR00537), by a grant from Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia de México (CONACyT), and by the grant N N514 678440 of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland (within the science funds for the years 2011–2014). ; Peer Reviewed
