this paper addresses the problem of the fractional sliding mode control (fsmc) for a mems optical switch. the proposed scheme utilizes a fractional sliding surface to describe dynamic behavior of the system in the sliding mode stage. after a comparison with the classical integer-order counterpart, it is seen that the control system with the proposed sliding surface displays better transient per...

in previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. the controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main issue ...

This work proposes a neural-fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for a hydro-turbine speed governor system. Considering the assumption of elastic water hammer, a nonlinear mode of the hydro-turbine governor system is established. By linearizing this mode, a sliding mode controller is designed. The linearized mode is subject to uncertainties. The uncertainties are generated in the process of linear...

The double integral sliding mode synchronization method is studied for a class of super chaotic systems. Both the unknown parameters and uncertain nonlinear functions are considered for the driven and response chaotic systems. It is worthy pointing out that a kind of input nonlinearity is taken into consideration when the synchronization controller is designed. The uncertainties are very comple...

In this paper a mesh-free model of the functionally graded material (FGM) plate is presented.  The piezoelectric material as a sensor and actuator has been distributed on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively. The formulation of the problem is based on the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and the principle of virtual displacements. Moreover, the Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) ...

In this article, the sliding mode control of frequency load control of power systems is studied. The study areaconsists of a system of water and heat. First, a mathematical model of the proposed system disturbances ismade and then sliding control mode for frequency load control is provided. By the system simulation andsliding mode control, it can be shown that the damping of oscillations is wel...

This paper investigates the chaos synchronization problem for a class of uncertain master–slave unified chaotic systems. Based on the sliding mode control technique, a robust control scheme is established which guarantees the occurrence of a sliding motion of error states even when the parameter uncertainty and external perturbation are present. Furthermore, a novel proportional–integral (PI) s...
