This study examines the feasibility of applying adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control (AFSMC) strategies to reduce the dynamic responses of bridges constructed using a lead rubber bearing (LRB) isolation hybrid protective system. Recently developed control devices for civil engineering structures, including hybrid systems and semi-active systems, have been found to have inherent nonlinear propert...

Due to computational burden and dynamic uncertainty, the classical model-based control approaches are hard to be implemented in the multivariable robotic systems. In this paper, a model-free fuzzy sliding mode control based on neural network is proposed. In classical sliding mode controllers, system dynamics and system parameters are required to compute the equivalent control. In Radial Basis F...

Fuzzy adaptive sliding mode control method is a good way to resolve the control problem when the system mathematic model is unknown. However, reaching condition must be satisfied in this method. In this paper, a kind of fuzzy adaptive variable structure control method is presented in which sliding mode doesn’t exist in closed-loop system. Dynamic fuzzy logical system (DFLS) is introduced to for...

An adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC) is proposed in this paper. The parameters of the membership functions in the fuzzy rule base are changed according to some adaptive algorithm for the purpose of controlling the system state to hit an userdefined sliding surface and then slide along it. The initial IF-THEN rules in the AFSMC can be randomly selected or roughly given by human expe...

A new design technique using a single fuzzy input variable instead of the design method of the switching line to reduce the control rules for a class of nonlinear systems is proposed. This technique only needs a single fuzzy input, and the deriving process is similar to the fuzzy sliding mode control (FSMC) principle, called the single-input quasi fuzzy sliding mode control (SQ-FSMC). First, ch...

Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) has been successfully established in control systems engineering in the recent years, in other hand, Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is an active area in control research. The combination of this tow fields called Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control (FSMC) techniques to exploit the superior sides of these two controllers have drawn the attention of the scientific community.

In recent years, underactuated nonlinear dynamic systems trajectory tracking, such as space robots and manipulators with structural flexibility, has become a major field of interest due to the complexity and high computational load of these systems. Hierarchical sliding mode control has been investigated recently for these systems; however, the instability phenomena will possibly occur, especia...

Absrrucr In this paper, a new fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is proposed for second-order linear timevarying systems in order to obtain faster error convergence and desired error dynamics. It is well known that a second-order linear time-varying system can be used to model higher order linear time invariant systems piece-wisely. Therefore, it is necessary to do deep investigation for the sta...
