Abstract: Presented is a method of continuous sliding mode control design to provide for the second-order sliding mode on the selected sliding surfaces in a three-loop control system, where two outer-loop virtual control signals must be smooth enough to be tracked in the inner loops. The control law in the vicinity of the sliding surface is a nonlinear dynamic feedback that in absence of unknow...

in previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. the controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main issue ...

This work proposes a neural-fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for a hydro-turbine speed governor system. Considering the assumption of elastic water hammer, a nonlinear mode of the hydro-turbine governor system is established. By linearizing this mode, a sliding mode controller is designed. The linearized mode is subject to uncertainties. The uncertainties are generated in the process of linear...

In order to realize good track keeping and roll reduction of the ship while navigating. A multiple input multiple output rudder-fin control system based on dynamic sliding mode algorithm is proposed. Rudder-fin joint system nonlinear mathematical model is established. Because the designed dynamic sliding mode controller makes sliding variables and the derivatives be zero, so it is essentially c...

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) ...

In this article, the sliding mode control of frequency load control of power systems is studied. The study areaconsists of a system of water and heat. First, a mathematical model of the proposed system disturbances ismade and then sliding control mode for frequency load control is provided. By the system simulation andsliding mode control, it can be shown that the damping of oscillations is wel...

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...

|A novel continuous control system is proposed which guarantees robust tracking in nite time for uncertain robot arms subject to unknown dynamic friction. To achive this result, several novel algorithms were combined: a.a dynamic adaptive sliding mode control; b.a time base generator to yield a time-varing gain, which allows to obtain nite time convergence; c.continuous parametrization to compe...

The camera stabilizer stabilizes the camera’s line of sight by isolating the camera from the model uncertainties, disturbances of operating environment and system movements. This paper presents a voltage-base optimal adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control for camera stabilizer. In this proposed control method, a voltage-base sliding mode controller is applied. But unfortunately, undesirable ...
