This paper considers the stability analysis for nonlinear sampled-data systems with failures in the feedback loop. The failures are caused by shared resources, and modeled by a weakly hard real-time (WHRT) dropout description. The WHRT dropout description restricts the considered dropout sequences with a non-probabilistic, window based constraint, that originates from schedulability analysis. The proposed approach is based on the emulation of a controller for the nonlinear sampled-data system from a continuous-time feedback. The emulation technique is extended and combined with non-monotonic Lyapunov functions and a graph description for the WHRT constraints to guarantee asymptotic stability. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated with a numerical example from literature. This paper is the accepted version of Hertneck et al. (2020), containing also proofs of the main results.
