A sliding mode control method is presented for linear multi-variable discrete-time systems, without introducing a discontinuous term to eliminate control chattering. Instead of a strong nonlinear function like switching introducing chattering problem in discrete-time, a linear control is designed around the sliding surface. Although not producing a strong acting control around the sliding surfa...

Modulated feedback control introduces periodicity. The global attracting property of the periodic points is established for a simple scalar discrete-time system under ∆-modulated feedback. Attracting regions of the periodic points are also characterized. When the discretization effects of the equivalent control based sliding mode control systems are studied, we show that the zero-order-hold dis...

— In this paper, our recent work on robust model-based fault diagnosis (FD) for several satellite control systems using learning and sliding mode approaches are summarized. Firstly, a variety of nonlinear mathematical models for these satellite control systems are described and analyzed for the purpose of fault diagnosis. These satellite control systems are classified into two classes of nonlin...

We present a novel fuzzy sliding mode control technique for a class of second order dynamical systems based on a piecewise linear sliding manifold. The proposed approach benefits from a reduction in the control action magnitude with respect to classical sliding mode control strategies, enhancing the effectiveness of such strategies under a saturated control input. In addition, employing the pro...

An adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is presented in this article. Despite the advantages of sliding mode control design for uncertain dynamic systems, classical sliding mode control has a major problem in the form of chattering, produced by the rapid switching used to conduct the state trajectories toward the sliding surfaces. A variety of methods are used to achieve chattering-free m...

This paper presents a robust sliding mode controller for a class of unknown nonlinear discretetime systems in the presence of fixed time delay. A neural-network approximation and the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional theory into the sliding-mode technique is used and a neural-network based sliding mode control scheme is proposed. Because of the novality of Chebyshev Neural Networks (CNNs), that it...

Sliding mode control is quickly becoming a popular research ...eld due to the several favorable qualities, including robustness. Linear quadratic control has been one of the more popular and more traditional control techniques, partially due to the ease of implementation and its optimality quality. In this paper, we provide an introduction to sliding mode control. A technique is suggested to al...

Both Soft computing based controllers and sliding mode controllers have been utilized to regulate the output voltage of dc-dc converters in response to changes in the load and the input voltage. Although both control techniques possess desirable characteristics, they have disadvantages which prevent them from being applied extensively. Many researchers have proposed the combination of sliding m...

In this paper a method for piezoelectric stack actuator control is proposed. In addition a brief discussion about the usage of the same methods for estimation of external force acting to the actuator in contact with environment is made. The method uses sliding mode framework to design both the observer and the controller based on an electromechanical lumped model of the piezoelectric actuator. ...
