Robust control of a decoupled induction motor drive is attempted in this paper. Sliding Mode Controller and Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller are designed for the speed loop of the drive. The design steps for both the controllers are laid down clearly. Only four fuzzy rules, and Center-ofSums defuzzification technique are used in the fuzzy controller for simplicity reasons. The performance of the f...

In this paper a mesh-free model of the functionally graded material (FGM) plate is presented.  The piezoelectric material as a sensor and actuator has been distributed on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively. The formulation of the problem is based on the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and the principle of virtual displacements. Moreover, the Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) ...

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...

Nowadays, the major advancements in the control of motion systems are due to the automatic control theory. Motion control systems are characterized by complex nonlinear dynamics and can be found in the robotic, automotive and electromechanical area, among others. In such systems it is always wanted to impose a desired behavior in order to cope with the control objectives that can go from veloci...

In this paper, a design approach adaptability of fuzzy sliding-mode controller (AFSMC) with a decoupled method is proposed. The decoupled method provides a simple way to achieve asymptotic stability for a class of fourth-order nonlinear system. Moreover, heuristic sliding factors are implemented as functions. Therefore, the sliding factor in hybrid fuzzy sliding mode controller is given without...

This paper presents the dynamic modeling and fuzzy sliding mode control for rigid-flexible multibody systems. To investigate the dynamic stiffening of rigid-flexible systems, a firstorder approximate model of a flexible spacecraft system is formulated by using Hamilton’s principles and assumed mode method, taking into account the second-order term of the coupling deformation field. For highly f...

This paper deals with the problem of the design sliding mode observers for nonlinear systems subject to unknown inputs. In most approaches, sliding mode observers can be designed under the assumption that the system can be transformed into a specific canonical observable form. Then, the state and the unknown input of the system can be recovered in finite time. In this work, the class of systems...

The synchronization between fractional-order hyperchaotic systems and integer-order hyperchaotic systems via sliding mode controller is investigated. By designing an active sliding mode controller and choosing proper control parameters, the drive and response systems are synchronized. Synchronization between the fractional-order Chen chaotic system and the integer-order Chen chaotic system and ...

In this paper, we extend the sliding mode idea to a class of unmatched uncertain variable structure systems. This method is achieved with introducing a new terminal sliding variable and the finite time stability of proposed method is proved using a new particular finite time condition in both reaching and sliding phases. In reaching phase new sliding mode controller is derived to guarantee the ...
