In this study, injection velocity in injection molding process was analyzed. Since physical behavior of thermoplastic and environmental condition in injection machine such as high temperature and pressure make a complex dynamics in injection molding system, the injection velocity is consequently difficult to control by some classical control methods. Hence, robust and adaptive control (Fuzzy Sl...

The paper presents a novel adaptive sliding mode fuzzy control strategy (AFSMC) for maintaining steam temperature in power plants. The AFSMC consists of a learning algorithm inspired by the sliding-mode control (SMC) and fuzzy gain scheduling integral control to compensate system offsets. The performance index for the learning algorithm has a similar structure to the switching variables derived...

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are promising clear and efficient new energy sources. An excellent control system is a normal working prerequisite for maintaining a fuel cell system in correct operating conditions. Conventional controllers could not satisfy the high performance to obtain the acceptable responses because of uncertainty, time-change, nonlinear, long-hysteresis and st...

A decoupled fuzzy sliding-mode control for an aeroelastic system is derived. This aeroelastic dynamic system describes the nonlinear plunge and pitch motions of a wing section, using a single trailing-edge flap as the control input. The decoupled fuzzy sliding-mode control design method is proposed to simultaneously control both the plunge and pitch motions of the aeroelastic system. In this de...

This paper proposes a new bilateral control scheme to ensure both transparency and robust stability under unknown constant time delay in stiff environment. Furthermore, this method guaranties suitable performance and robust stability when transition occurs between soft and stiff environments. This framework is composed of an adaptive sliding mode controller and an adaptive impedance controller,...

This paper investigates an Adaptive Fuzzy GainsScheduling Integral Sliding Mode Controller (AFGS-ISMC) design approach to deal with the attitude and altitude stabilization problem of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) precisely of a quadrotor. The Integral Sliding Mode Control (ISMC) seems to be an adequate control tool to remedy this problem. The selection of the controller parameters is done m...

However, feedback linearization control does not guarantee robustness in the presence of modeling errors. In [3], ∞ H control and sliding mode control was proposed. ∞ H control is a computation expensive method that presents good disturbance attenuation performance. In [4], sliding mode control and PID controller was discussed. In [5], the PID controller was discussed. The PID controller is a s...

This article develops a new output feedback tracking control scheme for uncertain robot manipulators with only position measurements. Unlike the conventional sliding mode controller, a quasi-continuous second-order sliding mode controller (QC2C) is first designed. Although the QC2C produces continuous control and less chattering than conventional sliding mode and other high-order sliding mode c...

This paper proposes a novel adaptive control law for nonlinear systems using Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system. Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system is used to identify nonlinear system components theta alpha and theta beta. Stable Indirect Adaptive control law is such that it has two control components one is certainty equivalence control and other is sliding mode control. Sliding mode controller is used to en...

Two phenomena can produce chattering: switching of input control signal and the large amplitude of this switching (switching gain). To remove the switching of input control signal, dynamic sliding mode control (DSMC) is used. In DSMC switching is removed due to the integrator which is placed before the plant. However, in DSMC the augmented system (system plus the integrator) is one dimension bi...
