In this paper we deal with robust control of a class of nonlinear systems which contain uncertainties. It can be viewed as an extension of the work in Corless and Leitmann [IEEE Trans. Aurom. Conrrol, AC-Xi, 1139-1144 (1981)] for the cases where the vector of uncertainties is only partially known. To cope with the uncertainties, an adaptive controller using a dead-zone and a hysteresis function...

Chatter is an instability phenomenon in machining processes which limits productivity and results in inferior workpiece quality, noise and rapid tool wear. The increasing demand for productivity in the manufacturing community motivates the development of an active control strategy to shape the chatter stability boundary of manufacturing processes. In this work a control methodology for the high...

1 Introduction The robust control problem for uncertain nonlinear systems has received a great deal of attention in the last few years 1{7]. In most cases the problem addressed is robust stabilization or robust tracking, and knowledge of bounds on the uncertainties is assumed. Since such bounds are usually conservative, the gains employed in the resulting robust controllers are likely to be unn...

The problem of control and stabilizing inherently non-linear unstable magnetic levitation (Maglev) systems with uncertain equilibrium states has been studied. Accordingly, some significant works related to different approaches have highlighted provide robust enhance the performance Maglev system. This work examines a method stabilize system in presence disturbance parameter variations minimize ...

Owing to random load changes and transmission time delays in interconnected power systems with renewable energy, the frequency control scheme has become one of main methods keep stability security systems. To relieve communication burden increase network utilisation, an adaptive event-triggered is explored. Then, a new fractional-order global sliding mode comprising term surface adopted improve...

the main task of this work is related with the design of a class of siso robust control law for theregulation of substrate concentration (cdo) of an industrial activated sludge wastewater plant. the controldesign is related with an uncertainty estimator (reduced order observer) based active control. departing from the tracking error between the desired and the current substrate concentrations t...

this paper develops a mathematical model using differential equations and considers a bullwhip effect in a supply chain network with multiple retailers and distributors. to ensure the stability of the entire system and reduce the bullwhip effect, a robust control method and an inventory replenishment policy are proposed. this shows that the choice of the output matrix may reduce the bullwhip ef...
