Abstract: The fault-tolerant control scheme utilizes grouping of currents to reduce the required number of controller outputs. Reduced current distribution matrices can be calculated with the constraint ...

Abstract: Flux coupling in heteropolar magnetic bearings permits remaining active coils to assume actions of failed coils to produce force resultants identical to the un-failed actuator. This fault-tolerant ...

Abstract: This paper provides a new algorithm and test verification for implementing fault-tolerant operation of magnetically suspended, flexible shaft, rotating machinery. The currents to the magnetic bearing ...
