A novel weighted l2,1 minimisation algorithm for a high range resolution profile with stepped frequency radar is proposed. The raw stepped frequency pulse train is converted into jointly sparse multiple measurement vectors by using the sliding window technique. Then, by using the Capon cepstrum a support-related weighting matrix is designed to control the priority class of bases in the reconstr...

The friction and wear properties of polyamide 66 (PA66), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sliding against hemselves under dry sliding and oil-lubricated conditions were studied by using a pin-on-disc tribometer. The effect of applied load and sliding peed on tribological behaviors of the polymer–polymer sliding combinations under dry sliding and oil-lubricated cond...

This paper presents the dynamic modeling and fuzzy sliding mode control for rigid-flexible multibody systems. To investigate the dynamic stiffening of rigid-flexible systems, a firstorder approximate model of a flexible spacecraft system is formulated by using Hamilton’s principles and assumed mode method, taking into account the second-order term of the coupling deformation field. For highly f...

The advent of highly efficient and superior digital devices and fast microprocessors for control application has opened the field of discrete time controller design. This paper presents an exciting application of magnetic levitation system using discrete sliding mode control. There is a limited volume of literature available for discrete sliding mode control as applied to magnetic levitation sy...

We present a formula that computes the output of an R-controllable, regular, single-input linear timeinvariant implicit system in such a way that it has prescribed relative degree and zeros. The formula is inspired on different generalizations of Ackermann’s formula. A possible application is in the context of sliding-mode control of implicit systems where, as the first step, one can use the pr...

The paper proposes a framework for engineering a coherent society-oriented system using the concept of sliding-mode control from systems theory. The agents are coordinated through local control laws using a switching logic related to the sliding manifolds. The sliding manifolds stand for sub-plans and therefore they are updated every time a change in planning is required. The agents have the ab...

The purpose of this paper is to apply adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control for structurally controlling buildings with sliding bearing isolation. Combining fuzzy control and robust control such as sliding mode control, reduces fuzzy rule bases complexity and ensures stability and robustness. We use Lyapunov theory to develop a self-tuning law. Stiffness uncertainty and time delay is used to demo...

Presented is a method of smooth sliding mode control design to provide for an asymptotic second-order sliding mode on the selected sliding surface. The control law is a nonlinear dynamic feedback that in absence of unknown disturbances provides for an asymptotic second-order sliding mode. Application of the second-order disturbance observer in a combination with the proposed continuous control ...

A discrete-time sliding mode proximate time-optimal servomechanism is developed using nonlinear sliding mode tangent to a reference velocity profile. Instead of a strong nonlinear function causing control chattering in discrete-time, a linear control is designed around the sliding surface. The resulting servomechanism delivers a bounded motion about the sliding surface even in the presence of p...

A class of interconnected systems with nonlinear interconnections and nonlinear disturbances is considered. A continuous nonlinear reduced-order compensator is established by exploiting the structure of the uncertainties. A sliding surface is proposed in an augmented space formed by the system output and the compensator variables, and the stability of the corresponding sliding mode is analysed....
