In this study, a new adaptive sliding-mode observer is proposed to estimate the rotor position and speed for sensorless control of permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in an electric vehicle drive system. This observer can effectively reduce the estimation errors caused by the inherent chattering phenomenon for a conventional sliding-mode observer and the stator resistance uncertainty due ...

In this report, we discuss accurate and robust sliding mode tracking control for highly nonlinear robot manipulators using a disturbance observer. To eliminate the chattering problem existed in conventional Sliding Mode Control (SMC) approach, which is caused by modeling errors and uncertainties. The efficient compensation of the disturbance observer has been introduced. The proposed sliding mo...

This paper presents a systematic approach to design a Lyapunov based super twisting differentiator. The differentiator will be shown convergent in a finite time whilst the relevant time is accurately estimated.  This differentiator is the main part to establish the sliding surface in higher order sliding mode. The differentiator  is used in the prescribed control structure  to regulate pressure...

The paper proposes an approach to second order sliding mode control for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear uncertain systems. With respect to standard sliding mode control, the second order sliding mode techniques for singleinput single-output (SISO) systems show the same properties of robustness and precision, feature a higher order accuracy and can be exploited to eliminate the chatter...

This paper proposes a second-order terminal sliding mode control for a class of uncertain input-delay systems. The input-delay systems are firstly converted into the input-delay free systems and further converted into the regular forms. A linear sliding mode manifold is predesigned to represent the ideal dynamics of the system. Another terminal sliding mode manifold surface is presented to driv...

This paper develops a sensorless vector controlled method for AC induction motor using sliding-mode observer. For developing the control algorithm, modeling of AC induction motor is presented. After that, a sliding mode observer is proposed to estimate the motor speed, the rotor flux, the angular position of the rotor flux and the motor torque from monitored stator voltages and currents. The us...

This paper presents a new algorithm based on Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) and its stability analysis for sensorless control of Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs). The reference and adjustable models of the suggested observer are based on the active power of the machine. A hysteresis block is used in the structure of the adaptation mechanism, and the stability analysis is performe...

The traditional three-loop autopilot[11] suffers from coupling in pitch, yaws, roll channel as well as degraded performance due to huge aerodynamic uncertainties. Sliding mode control is applied to design autopilot for skid-to-turn missile (STT) missile systems to overcome the above stated difficulties. The design has two steps. The first step involves feedback linearization and the second stag...

The paper by Yan, Spurgeon, and Edwards uses the standard linear sliding mode procedure—outlined in the books of [Edwards and Spurgeon 1998, Utkin 1992] for example— along with an observer, to stabilise a class of systems whose linearisation is stabilisable using the standard sliding mode approach, and whose nonlinearities and uncertainties have certain structure. This structure, as well as mod...
