This paper presents an application of sliding mode control for switched reluctance motor (SRM) speed. The sliding mode technique finds its stronger justification in the utilization of a robust control law to model uncertainties. A sliding mode controller of the motor speed is then designed and simulated. Digital simulation results shows that the designed sliding speed controller realises a good...

In this paper, we present a new sliding mode controller for a class of unknown nonlinear discrete-time systems. We make the following two modifications: 1) The neural identifier which is used to estimate the unknown nonlinear system, applies new learning algorithms. The stability and non-zero properties are proved by dead-zone and projection technique. 2) We propose a new sliding surface and gi...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sliding spotlight work mode can achieve high resolutions and wide swath (HRWS) simultaneously by steering the radar antenna beam. This paper aims to obtain well focused images using sliding spotlight mode with the Chinese Gaofen-3 SAR sensor. We proposed an integrated imaging scheme with sliding spotlight echoes. In the imaging scheme, the two-step approach is app...

Combining fuzzy logic controller and sliding mode controller to exploit the superior sides of these two controllers is an active area in control theory. The dynamic behaviour of the hybrid system named as fuzzy sliding mode controller depends quite heavily on the sliding surface on which the control structure is switched. In this study, the slope of the sliding surface is continuously updated b...

In this paper, a robust stabilization problem for a class of linear time-varying delay systems with disturbances is studied using sliding mode techniques. Both matched and mismatched disturbances, involving time-varying delay, are considered. The disturbances are nonlinear and have nonlinear bounds. A sliding surface is designed and the stability of the corresponding sliding motion is analysed ...

In this paper, a variable structure controller with time-varying sliding surface is proposed for robot manipulators. The proposed time-varying sliding surface ensures the ezistence of sliding mode from an initial state, while the conventional sliding surface cannot achieve the robust performance against parameter variations and disturbances before the sliding mode occurs. Therefore, error trans...

We show that the well-known formula by Ackermann and Utkin can be generalized to the case of higher-order sliding modes. By interpreting the eigenvalue assignment of the sliding dynamics as a zero-placement problem, the generalization becomes straightforward and the proof is greatly simplified. The generalized formula retains the simplicity of the original one while allowing to construct the sl...

The present work aims at reducing the friction of rubber soles sliding on ceramic floorings. Fitting bored cylindrical protrusions with different diameters on rubber soles was proposed. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed protrusions in increasing friction coefficient at dry and contaminated floorings. It was found that, at dry sliding, friction coefficient ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine whether toe sliding is more likely to cause knee injuries than flatfoot sliding in curling. METHODS Twelve curlers participated in the study, each delivering 12 stones. Six stones per volunteer were delivered using a flatfoot slide and six were delivered using a toe slide. The Pedar-X in-shoe pressure system recorded the plantar pressure durin...
