A hierarchical fuzzy sliding-mode control is proposed to achieve asymptotic stability and favorable decoupling performance. In this approach, the nonlinear system is decoupled into several subsystems and the state response of each subsystem can be designed to be governed by a corresponding sliding surface. Then the whole system is controlled by a hierarchical sliding-mode controller. The propos...

Accuracy of tracking and robustness are very important specifications in control of parallel robots. Classical control methods could not satisfy these requirements in parallel robots, simultaneously. Sliding mode control solves problems of accurate tracking, but it is not robust enough because of influence of chattering phenomena. Implementation of fuzzy logic in sliding mode enhances robustnes...

The objective of the paper is to develop a novel intelligent pitch control system of a 2MW wind turbine driven by variable-speed hydraulic pump-controlled system. For realizing the intelligent pitch controller, self-organizing fuzzy sliding mode control, which combines fuzzy sliding mode control and self-organizing modifier, is proposed. In order to verify the proposed concept experimentally, a...

This study develops a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) based on a variable boundary layer. A fuzzy inference mechanism is used to on-line tune the thickness of the boundary layers of the controller. Minimum rule base has been used for the fuzzy inference system which results in low calculation effort. The aim of this paper is to design a controller which will eliminate the chattering of FSM...

This paper addresses the fault detection of a cracked cantilever beam using a hybrid artificial intelligence technique. The hybrid technique used here uses a fuzzy-neuro controller. The fuzzy-neuro controller has two parts. The first part is comprised of the fuzzy controller, and the second part is comprised of the neural controller. The input parameters of the fuzzy controller are relative dev...

This paper discusses fuzzy sliding mode controller applied for induction motor field oriented control with space-vector pulse-width modulated inverter. The speed control is obtained by controlling the inverter switching frequency determined by the reference voltage resulted by the controller. Simulation results show that fuzzy sliding mode controller performed satisfactorily and better compared...

This paper presents a novel approach to the design of an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller for depth control of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). So far, AUV’s dynamics are highly nonlinear and the hydrodynamic coefficients of the vehicles are difficult to estimate, because of the variations of these coefficients with different operating conditions. These kinds of difficulties cause ...

This paper deals with the development of different control techniques such as Fuzzy, Sliding mode, and Sliding Mode fuzzy controllers for the servo drive system. Servomotors are widely used in industry due to their relatively low cost and high reliability. To get high performances we have to control the input variable in uncertainties and disturbance. Two cases are discussed for each control sc...

Abstract: Although the general sliding mode control has the robust property, bounds on the disturbances and parameter variations should be known a priori to the designer of the control system. Fuzzy logic provides an effective way to design a controller of the system with disturbances and parameter variations. Therefore, combination of the best feature of the fuzzy logic control and the sliding...
