In this paper$we present a self-developed under-actuated Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (Hereinafter abbreviated as UUV). After analyzing the motion and actuating characteristics of the UUV, the maneuvering motion models are established in the horizontal plane and vertical plane separately. Considering the model parameter uncertainties and unknown environmental disturbances, the course and depth a...

Since the piezoelectrically actuated system has nonlinear and time-varying behavior, it is difficult to establish an accurate dynamic model for a model-based sensing and control design. Here, a model-free adaptive sliding controller is proposed to improve the small travel and hysteresis defects of piezoelectrically actuated systems. This sensing and control strategy employs the functional appro...

this paper introduces an indirect adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller as a power system stabilizer for damping local and inter-area modes of oscillations of multi-machine power systems. this controller is designed based on the combination of sliding mode controller and the fuzzy logic systems. the fuzzy systems are used to approximate the unknown functions of power system model. generator sp...

A hierarchical fuzzy sliding-mode control is proposed to achieve asymptotic stability and favorable decoupling performance. In this approach, the nonlinear system is decoupled into several subsystems and the state response of each subsystem can be designed to be governed by a corresponding sliding surface. Then the whole system is controlled by a hierarchical sliding-mode controller. The propos...

This paper presents a second order sliding mode control (SOSMC) for a single link flexible manipulator, which represents a class of under actuated systems. A second order super twisting algorithm (STA) is used to provide better positional accuracy and robustness against parametric variation and external disturbances with alleviation in chattering. A smooth control is synthesized using STA to ex...

In this paper, the terminal sliding mode tracking control is proposed for the uncertain single-input and single-output (SISO) nonlinear system with unknown external disturbance. For the unmeasured disturbance of nonlinear systems, terminal sliding mode disturbance observer is presented. The developed disturbance observer can guarantee the disturbance approximation error to converge to zero in t...

In this paper, phase and speed synchronization control of four eccentric rotors (ERs) driven by induction motors in a linear vibratory feeder with unknown time-varying load torques is studied. Firstly, the electromechanical coupling model of the linear vibratory feeder is established by associating induction motor's model with the dynamic model of the system, which is a typical under actuated m...
