It is well known that sliding mode control algorithm can give good transient performance and system robustness. However, due to the sensitivity of the sliding mode controller before reaching the sliding surface and the presence of chattering may introduce problems to motion tracking control of robot manipulators. In this paper, a proposed technique to adaptively tune the sliding mode controller...

Switch-mode power supplies represent a particular class of variable structure systems (VSS). Thus, they can take advantage of non-linear control techniques developed for this class of systems. In this paper the so called sliding mode control is reviewed and its application to switchmode power supplies is discussed. Sliding mode control extends the properties of hysteresis control to multi-varia...

The paper presents the basic concepts, mathematical and design aspects of sliding mode control.It is shown that the main advantages of sliding mode control are order reduction, decoupling design procedures, disturbance rejection, insensitivity to parameter variations, simple implementation by means of conventional power converters. The methods of suppressing chattering, caused by discrete-time ...

In this chapter we will study the robust performance control based-on integral sliding-mode for system with nonlinearities and perturbations that consist of external disturbances and model uncertainties of great possibility time-varying manner. Sliding-mode control is one of robust control methodologies that deal with both linear and nonlinear systems, known for over four decades (El-Ghezawi et...

For sliding-mode control systems with fast actuators, sufficient conditions for the exponential decreasing of the amplitude of chattering and unlimited growth of frequency are found. The connection between the stability of actuators and the stability of the plant on the one hand and the stability of the sliding-mode system as the whole on the other hand is investigated. The algorithm for correc...

In this paper, H disturbance attenuation control and sliding mode disturbance estimation and compensation control of a magnetic levitation system are studied. A magnetic levitation apparatus is established, and its model is measured. Then the system model is feedback linearized. A H controller is then designed. For comparison, a sliding mode controller and a PID controller also were designed. S...

This paper is concerned with a delay-dependent sliding mode scheme for the robust stabilization of input-delay systems with bounded unknown uncertainties. A sliding surface based on a predictor is proposed to minimize the effect of the input delay. Then, a robust control law is derived to ensure the existence of a sliding mode on the surface. In input-delay systems, uncertainties given during t...

Active Queue Management (AQM) takes a trade-off between link utilization and delay experienced by data packets. From control point of view, it is rational to regard AQM as a typical regulation system. In this paper, a new fuzzy adaptive second order sliding mode controller is designed for the objective of AQM. In the proposed method, the sliding parameter is adapted using fuzzy logic. Some comp...

Magnetic servo levitation (MSL) is currently being investigated as an alternative to drive fast-tool servo systems that could overcome the range limitations inherent to piezoelectric driven devices while operating over a wide bandwidth. To control such systems, a feedback-linearized controller coupled with a Kalman filter has been previously described. Performance limitations that degrade track...

Sliding mode control with a fuzzy boundary layer is presented to hydraulic position control problem in this paper. A nonlinear hydraulic servomechanism which has an asymmetric cylinder is modeled and simulated first, then the proposed control scheme is applied to this model versus the conventional sliding mode control. Simulation results proved that the chattering free position control is achie...
