摘要:AbstractThis paper presents an observer-based state and parameter estimation for the extended sliding-consolidation model of a landslide. This system is described by a pair of coupled Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) and Partial Differential Equation (PDE), with a mixed boundary condition for the PDE. The coupling appears both in the ODE and in the Neuman boundary condition of the PDE. The observer consists of a copy of the PDE part of the system and Kalman-like observer for the ODE. It is shown to ensure exponential convergence of the state and parameter estimates by means of Lyapunov tool. Finally, a simulation result of the extended sliding-consolidation model is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed observer.
