A robust unknown input observer for a nonlinear system whose nonlinear function satisfies the Lipschitz condition is designed based on linear matrix inequality approach. Both noise and uncertainties are taken into account in deriving the observer. A component fault detection and isolation scheme based on these observers is proposed. The effectiveness of the observer and the fault diagnosis scheme is shown by applying them for component fault diagnosis of an electrohydraulic actuator.
