In this paper, a class of single output nonlinear systems with an uncertain parameter is considered. A diffeomorphism is first introduced to simplify the system structure, then, by employing an adaptive approach to identify the unknown parameter, a sliding mode observer is developed to estimate the system state variables. Based on the observer, a fault estimation scheme is proposed based on the...

We describe a nonlinear observer-based design for control of vehicle traction that is important in providing safety and obtaining desired longitudinal vehicle motion. First, a robust sliding mode controller is designed to maintain the wheel slip at any given value. Simulations show that longitudinal traction controller is capable of controlling the vehicle with parameter deviations and disturba...

This article proposes a disturbance observer-based Sliding Mode Control (SMC) approach for the robust synchronization of uncertain delayed chaotic systems. is done by, first, examining and analyzing electronic behavior master slave Sprott Then, synthesizing sliding mode control technique using newly proposed surface that encompasses error between slave. The external disturbances affecting syste...

In this paper we present a design method of Sliding Mode Observer (SMO) applied to reconstruct both actuator and sensor faults for a class of output time-delay systems. To guarantee the quadratically stability of the estimation error dynamics, sufficient conditions are developed with the LyapunovKrasovskii approach arising a set of Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) optimization. Applying the equiv...

This paper proposes an observer-based indirect adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller with state variable filters for a certain class of unknown nonlinear dynamic systems in which not all the states are available for measurement. To design the proposed controller, we first construct the fuzzy models to describe the input/output behavior of the nonlinear dynamic system.Then, an observer is emplo...

A switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive generally requires a rotor position sensor for commutation and current control. However, the use of this position sensor increases both cost and size of the motor drive and causes limitations for industrial applications. In this paper, a novel indirect position sensing technique, namely, the sliding-mode observer, is proposed for SRM drives. The correspon...

In this paper, the fault diagnosis problem for a class of nonlinear multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) systems with uncertainty is investigated. Under some geometric conditions, the system is transformed into two different subsystems. One is in the generalized observer canonical form and is not affected by actuator faults, so a nonlinear sliding mode observer for this subsystem is constructed...

In this paper we present the design of a sliding mode controller for attitude control of spacecraft actuated by three orthogonal reaction wheels. The equilibrium of the closed loop system is proved to be asymptotically stable in the sense of Lyapunov. Due to cases where spacecraft do not have angular velocity measurements, an estimator for the generalized velocity is derived and asymptotic stab...
