Aided by a modified event-triggered communication policy (ETCP), this article addresses the dissipativity-based control synthesis problem for semi-Markovian switching systems (SMSSs) with simultaneous multiplicative probabilistic faults on sensors and actuators modules. The resulting model under consideration is more extensive, which covers semi-Markovian switching coefficients, transmission delays, and randomly occurring sensors and actuators faults in a unified systematic analytical framework instead of investigating separately in some existing works. More specifically, the probabilistic faults are assumed to happen on both the sensors and actuators modules simultaneously, and the distortion probability for each sensor and actuator is irrelevant, which can be characterized by multiplicate mutually independent stochastic variables that obeys certain statistical features and probabilistic distribution delineate on the interval [0,✠](✠≥1). To reduce the bandwidth usage, a novel event-triggered strategy is designed. Additionally, in the light of this newly developed ETCP, and considering the effects of the signal transmission delays and multitudinous probabilistic failures, a generalized and more realistic faulty pattern for SMSSs is presented, which is more fit for real applications. Hereby, the principal superiority of the established new type faulty pattern lies in its practicality and generality, which contains some previous faulty models as special scenarios. By constructing an appropriate semi-Markovian Lyapunov functional (SMLF) together with mathematical analysis technique and matrix inequality decoupling operation, sojourn-time-dependent sufficient conditions for determining both the control gain matrices and triggered configuration coefficients are developed and formulated in terms of a group of feasible linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Eventually, several practical examples are exploited to substantiate the validity and practicability of the developed control design methodology.
