This paper presents the effects of fixture dynamics on the control of a variable-reluctance spherical motor (VRSM). The cascaded VRSM dynamics has the appropriate structure for the so-called back-stepping controller design method. Implementation of the back-stepping controller, however, requires the computation of the exact motor dynamics at each sampling time. This computational burden has an ...

This paper develops repetitive and iterative learning control design and analysis for back stepping controlled nonlinear systems. To precisely track periodic or finite duration trajectories for nonlinear systems, back stepping control is first designed to render closed loop stability and, in theory, asymptotic tracking performance. However, due to the sensitivity to the unmodelled dynamics plan...

input frequency is one of the important variables in design and performance analysis of single-sided linear induction motors (slims). changing the frequency changes both the dimension of the slim in design process and the performance of the designed motor. the frequency influences the induced eddy currents in the secondary sheet as well as saturation level of the secondary back-iron. in this pa...

A discrete-time adaptive nonlinear control procedure is developed based on immersion and invariance control, and using back-stepping for the regulation of slider-crank system. A convenient parametric formulation of the system dynamics is established. A novel parameter estimator design is presented, and the back-stepping controller is constructed considering the certainty equivalence principle.

This paper studies output feedback control of pure-feedback systems with immeasurable states and completely non-affine property. Since availability of all the states is usually impossible in the actual process, we assume that just the system output is measurable and the system states are not available. First, to estimate the immeasurable states a state observer is designed. Relatively fewer res...

Input frequency is one of the important variables in design and performance analysis of single-sided linear induction motors (SLIMs). Changing the frequency changes both the dimension of the SLIM in design process and the performance of the designed motor. The frequency influences the induced eddy currents in the secondary sheet as well as saturation level of the secondary back-iron. In this pa...

By introducing Colpitts oscillator as a chaotic system, this paper deals with back-stepping control method and investigates the restrictions and problems of the controller where non-existence of a suitable response in the presence of uncertainty is the most important problem to note. In this paper, the back-stepping sliding mode method is introduced as a robust method for controlling nonlinear ...

In this paper, based on a fractional order Bergman minimal model, a robust strategy for regulationof blood glucose in type 1 diabetic patients is presented. Glucose/insulin concentration in the patientbody is controlled through the injection under the patients skin by the pump. Many various con-trollers for this system have been proposed in the literature. However, most of the...

In this paper, a new guidance law is designed to improve the performance of a homing missiles guidance system in terminal phase. For this purpose first of all, the two dimensions equations of motion are formulated, then the approximation dynamic of missile control loop is added to these equations which are nonlinear whit unmatched uncertainty. Then, a new adaptive back-stepping method is develo...
