Designing a robust tracking control for a non-linear MIMO system with uncertainty is one of the most complicated control problems. In this paper, sliding mode changed to non-linear controllable canonical form by input-output linearization. This, sliding surfaces can be defined in a way that we can de-couple equations and indicate the sliding conditions of multi-variable controller system. The u...

the angle of repose of soil particles is an important factor for determining critical shear stress for initiation of soil particles motion during the erosion process. there are different methods for measuring the angle of particle repose and the result of each method is somewhat different from those of the others. sliding and fixed-base piling methods are the two most common methods in the lite...

natural hazards such as earthquakes have threatened the life of human beings during the history.as a consequence, the vibration mitigation of structures has caught great importance. activecontrol of structures is one of the rapidly emerging areas in the concept of structural control. thispaper presents a control method to deal with this subject when the dynamics of the structure ishysteretic an...

Case Description- Two female domestic short-hair cats Clinical Findings- The cats with clinical signs of regurgitation, dysphagia and respiratory distress were presented. Symptomatic sliding hiatal hernia was diagnosed by radiography in these cats. Treatment and Outcome- The hernias were corrected surgically by only left-sided fundic gastropexy in one, and by reduction of hiatal opening and g...

in this paper the problem on “magnetic fluid lubrication of porous-pivoted slider bearing with slip velocity by n ahmad et.al.[7]” has been recapitulated using jenkin’s model [4] with the additional effect of squeeze velocity of the above plate. it is found that while discussing the above problem, [7] has stated but ignored the term , where +, in their study (refer equation(2.2)). this paper re...

introduction: occurrence of landslides depends on several factors such as the composition and structure of earth materials, rainfall level, temperature, groundwater regime and cover crops. landslides are a main natural hazard in iran, because of its special geological conditions and its mountainous active tectonic regime. linear civil structures, such as roads, highways and railways, face serio...

In this study, small fraction of NiTi (5 wt%) was added to Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) top coat to improve it sliding wear resistance. The measurement of width of wear tracks after wear tests under a 15 N load for 100 m sliding distances showed that the width of wear track in NiTi-YSZ coating is shorter than that in YSZ coating which depicts the higher wear resistance of NiTi-YSZ coa...

This paper develops a new method of integral sliding mode control redesign for a class of perturbed nonlinear dissipative switched systems by modifying the dissipativity-based control law that was designed for the unperturbed systems. The nominal model is considered affine with matched and unmatched perturbations. The redesigned control law includes an integral sliding-based control signal such...

In this paper, a wind power system based on a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is modeled and simulated. To guarantee high-performance control of the powers injected into the grid by the wind turbine, five intelligent super-twisting sliding mode controllers (STSMC) are used to eliminate the active power and current ripples of the DFIG. The STSMC controller is a high-order sliding mode cont...
