This paper proposes a novel hybrid control of induction motor, based on the combination of the direct torque control DTC and the backstepping one, optimized by Genetic Algorithm (GA). First the basic evolution of DTC is explained, where the torque and stator flux are controlled by non linear hysteresis controllers which cause large ripple in motor torque at steady state operation. A Backsteppin...

The main purpose of this paper is to integrate fuzzy logic control and sliding mode control techniques based on backstepping approach to develop a robust fuzzy backstepping sliding mode controller (RFBSMC) for an under-actuated quadrotor UAV system under external disturbances and parameter uncertainties. First, a robust backstepping sliding mode control for quadrotor is introduced briefly. More...

In this paper, an adaptive backstepping controller is proposed for the position tracking of a mechanical system driven by an induction motor (IM). The mechanical system is a single link fixed on the shaft of the induction motor. The backstepping methodology provides a simpler design procedure for a adaptive control scheme than the model reference adaptive control method, which is demonstrated i...

This paper presents a method to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation for a class of second order optimal control problems for which the cost is quadratic and the dynamics are affine in the input and in the state directly excited by that input. The solution is based on the concept of inverse optimality and is obtained in two steps. First a scalar problem is solved and then the solution of ...

This paper deals with the design of optimal backstepping controller, by using the chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) algorithm to control of chaos in Lur’e like chaotic system. The backstepping method consists of parameters which could have positive values. The parameters are usually chosen optional by trial and error method. The controlled system provides different behaviors for differ...

This paper deals with the problem of suppression of stick-slip oscillations in oil well drill-strings. The backstepping technique is used to design two control schemes for the system. The first controller is a typical backstepping controller; the second controller is a sliding back-stepping controller. Moreover, a reduced order observer is proposed to estimate the unmeasurable states of the sys...

The robust H∞ control problem for the generator excitation system with the damping coefficient uncertainty and external disturbances, is addressed. Storage functions of the control system are constructed based on modified adaptive backstepping sliding mode control method and Lyapunov method. A nonlinear robust H∞ controller and a parameter updating law are obtained simultaneously. The controlle...

Different from the previous work for quadrotor which mostly discusses application of different controllers to quadrotor control under normal flight conditions, this paper introduces a new design strategy which considers fault tolerant capability of the quadrotor control problems. By utilizing Passive Fault Tolerant Control Systems (PFTCS) concept with backstepping control approach, the trajecto...

This paper introduces an explicit output-feedback boundary feedback law that stabilizes an unstable linear constant-coefficient reaction-diffusion equation on an n-ball (which in 2-D reduces to a disk and in 3-D reduces to a sphere) using only measurements from the boundary. The backstepping method is used to design both the control law and a boundary observer. To apply backstepping the system ...
