An optimal strategy based on minimum effort control and also with terminal positionconstraint is developed for an exoatmospheric interceptor with a fixed- interval guidance time. It isthen integrated with sliding-mode control theory to drive an optimal sliding-mode guidance law forfixed-interval guidance time. In addition, this guidance law is generalized for intercepting anarbitrarily time-var...

This paper proposes an adaptive continuous higher order sliding mode control scheme. The control law comprises a structure which provides smooth finite time stabilization of the origin for a nominal disturbance-free system formed from a chain of integrators, together with a super-twisting term to guarantee robustness to a class of twice differentiable uncertainty. The super-twisting scheme is a...

This paper focuses on a second order sliding mode based direct power controller (SOSM-DPC) of a three-phase grid-connected voltage source converter (VSC). The proposed control scheme combined with fuzzy logic aims at regulating the DC-link voltage of the converter and precisely tracking arbitrary power references, in order to easily control the system’s power factor. Therefore measures are prop...

the aim of this paper is to design a fractional order sliding mode controllers (fosmc)for a class of dc-dc converters such as boost and buck converters. firstly, the control lawis designed with respect to the properties of fractional calculus, the design yields an equiv-alent control term with an addition of discontinuous (attractive) control law. secondly, themathematical proof of the stabilit...

In this paper, we develop a new control method that brings together the advantages of fuzzy logic and sliding mode control. First, we introduce a non-chattering robust sliding mode control. Then, in order to improve the performance of the controller a fuzzy logic algorithm is integrated with the sliding mode controller. This algorithm decides the slope of the sliding surface of the sliding mode...
