In this paper, a novel fuzzy simplex sliding-mode controller is proposed for controlling a multivariable nonlinear system. The fuzzy logic control (FLC) algorithm and simplex sliding-mode control (SSMC) theory are integrated to form the fuzzy simplex sliding mode control (FSSMC) scheme which improves the system states response and reduces system states chattering phenomenon. In this paper, at f...

This paper proposes a novel adaptive Super-Twisting sliding mode control for a microgyroscope under unknown model uncertainties and external disturbances. In order to improve the convergence rate of reaching the sliding surface and the accuracy of regulating and trajectory tracking, a high order Super-Twisting sliding mode control strategy is employed, which not only can combine the advantages ...

Abstract: This paper presents an exact input-output linearization control scheme for rotor speed and rotor flux control of induction motor drive. In this scheme the motor model, is described in the fixed stator frame, and it is linearized, using exact inputoutput linearization technique, allowing a decoupled control of rotor flux and torque. To avoid the use of mechanical sensor, the rotor spee...

In this paper, a decentralised observer scheme is proposed for a class of nonlinear interconnected systems based on higher order sliding mode techniques. It is not required that the nominal subsystems or the isolated nominal subsystems are linearizable. Under the assumption that the isolated nominal subsystems have uniform relative degree, local coordinate transformations are used to transform ...

This paper presents a precision fault reconstruction scheme for a class of nonlinear systems involving unknown input disturbances. First, using the coordinate transformation algorithm, the disturbances and faults of the system are fully decoupled. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the influence of disturbances to the system, namely, better disturbances robustness. On this basis, the design...

Switch-mode power supplies represent a particular class of variable structure systems (VSS). Thus, they can take advantage of non-linear control techniques developed for this class of systems. In this paper the so called sliding mode control is reviewed and its application to switchmode power supplies is discussed. Sliding mode control extends the properties of hysteresis control to multi-varia...

This paper presents an application of sliding mode control for switched reluctance motor (SRM) speed. The sliding mode technique finds its stronger justification in the utilization of a robust control law to model uncertainties. A sliding mode controller of the motor speed is then designed and simulated. Digital simulation results shows that the designed sliding speed controller realises a good...
