Adaptive backstepping sliding mode controller for a shape memory alloy actuator

Shape memory alloy (SMA) has the prominent merits, such as high power-to-mass ratio, low driving voltage, light weight, clean and quiet operation, which has been applied in plenty of fields. However, the nonlinearity, hysteresis and time-varying characteristics have affected the control performance. To this end, this paper presents an adaptive backstepping sliding mode control method, and considers the precise control problem of SMA actuators. Firstly, the experimental setup has been established and the physical model of a SMA actuator system has been bulited up. Next the model parameters have been identified by utilizing the nonlinear least-squares algorithm. Then the adaptive backstepping sliding mode controller has been designed based on the obtained mechanism model. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed controller ensures fast dynamic response speed, low steady-state tracking error and reliable disturbance rejection ability.
