The application of the Sliding Mode Thermal Control to dryer station furnace facility in agriculture productions is proposed. An adaptive controller is designed based on results obtained in the sphere of discontinuous system design. The derived Sliding Mode (SM) control algorithm written in Lab View environment should improve the control performance of the important characteristic of systems su...

In order to apply the sliding mode control to a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), prior knowledge of exact bounds for parameter uncertainties and external disturbances is a prerequisite. However, these bounds may not be easily obtained because of the complexity and unpredictability of the structure of uncertainties in the dynamics of ROVs. In order to overcome such a difficulty in the control of...

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...

This paper proposes an adaptive sliding backstepping control law for quadcopter attitude control. By employing adaptive elements in the sliding mode control formulation the proposed control law avoids a priori knowledge of the upper bounds on the uncertainty. The controller we propose can be used for systems that are in strict feedback form with matched uncertainties. Numerical simulations show...

This paper presents a novel fuzzy logic based Adaptive Super-twisting Sliding Mode Controller for the control of dynamic uncertain systems. The proposed controller combines the advantages of Second order Sliding Mode Control, Fuzzy Logic Control and Adaptive Control. The reaching conditions, stability and robustness of the system with the proposed controller are guaranteed. In addition, the pro...

This chapter develops a sliding mode and fuzzy logic-based speed controller, which is named adaptive fuzzy sliding-mode controller (AFSMC) for an indirect fieldoriented control (IFOC) of an induction motor (IM) drive. Essentially, the boundary layer approach is the most popular method to reduce the chattering phenomena, which leads to trade-off between control performances, and chattering elimi...
