As we know, sliding mode control methodology is one of the robust control technique to handle systems with model uncertainties, parameter variations and external disturbances. In this paper, a robust altitude control scheme is proposed for a nonlinear quad-rotor aircraft system based on sliding mode controller with an integral action to eliminate the steady-state error effect. The proposed slid...

A hierarchical fuzzy sliding-mode control is proposed to achieve asymptotic stability and favorable decoupling performance. In this approach, the nonlinear system is decoupled into several subsystems and the state response of each subsystem can be designed to be governed by a corresponding sliding surface. Then the whole system is controlled by a hierarchical sliding-mode controller. The propos...

This paper proposes a novel sliding mode control (SMC) scheme to stabilize a class of fractional-order chaotic systems. Through constructing two sliding mode variables, the control problem of n-dimensional system can be transformed to the equivalent stabilizing problem of a reduced-order system. Subsequently, on the basis of second-order sliding mode (SOSM) technique, a robust control law is de...

Based on a novel robust integral sliding mode surface (RISM), method of designing nonlinear robust sliding mode control is presented. Firstly, the closed-loop system under the sliding mode is proved to be asymptotically stable by using Lyapunov stability theories. Then variable structure control (VSC) is constructed to ensure the reachability of the sliding surface. Robustness of the closed-loo...

An Integral Nested Sliding Mode Control (INSMC) is proposed for n-link robotic manipulators tracking problem by employing Integral Sliding Mode (ISM) and Nested Sliding Mode (NSM) concepts. This controller has the robustness of NSM against matched and no matched perturbations, and the capability of ISM to reduce the sliding functions gains. Application to a two-link planar robot manipulator is ...

In this paper, a nonsingular terminal sliding mode concept is introduced for the control of a class of nonlinear dynamical systems. This nonsingular terminal sliding mode control not only enables the £nite time convergence of the system equilibrium, but also eliminates the singularity problem associated with conventional terminal sliding mode control. Simulations are presented to show the effec...

A method of sliding mode control based on a fuzzy model identified through input output data is presented. In this approach the advantages of the sliding mode control technique are maintained, however parametric uncertainty and unmatched disturbance are acknowledged as limiting factors of controller performance and their effects are sought to be minirnised. Controller performance is compared wi...
