This paper examines the practical design issues of sliding mode controllers as applied to the control of DC– DC converters. A comprehensive review of the relevant literature is first provided. Major problems that prevent the use of sliding mode control in DC–DC converter for industrial applications and their possible solutions are discussed. Performance of sliding mode control is compared with ...

This work deals with the design of a FDI scheme on the basis of sliding mode techniques for a 3 three tanks system. More precisely, we focus on the design of high-order sliding mode observer to estimate the magnitude of the actuator faults. The main advantage of the use of high order sliding mode techniques is that it allows to avoid the chattering phenomenon which is inherent to the classical ...

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, sliding mode controllers (SMC) are designed for a steerable tractor-trailer system, which is operating in the presence of longitudinal and lateral slips at front and rear wheels. Such vehicles intended for autonomous operations usually traverse at low speeds along straight lines. As very low accelerations are involved kinematic models seem sufficiently accurate for developing con...

This paper considers the development of Sliding mode output feedback controllers. The existence problem is solved via a static output feedback formulation using a descriptor approach. Linear matrix inequalities (LMI) are used to obtain the parameters of the switching function. The paper provides conditions in terms of the system structure for a stable reducedorder sliding motion to exist. A con...

This chapter presents sliding mode approach for controlling DC-DC power converters implementing proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers commonly used in industry. The core design idea implies enforcing sliding mode such that the output converter voltage contains proportional, integral and derivative components with the pre-selected coefficients. Traditionally, the method of pulse wid...
