Discrete sliding mode controller with reaching phase elimination for TITO systems

Sliding mode control (SMC) is emerged as a powerful robust controller for the process control application. However, it does not posses robustness properties during reaching phase and suffers from chattering, which is undesirable. In this paper, a chatter free discrete sliding mode controller (DSMC) with reaching phase elimination is proposed. The issue of existence of reaching phase due to physical constraints such as saturation of actuating devices is also addressed. The two-input–two-output (TITO) system is decoupled into two single-input–single-output (SISO) systems using ideal decoupler. The DSMCs are separately designed for two decoupled SISO systems. The stability is ensured via Lyapunov approach. Simulation study and experimentation on real life interacting two tank liquid level system are included to demonstrate effectiveness and applicability of the proposed controller.     

Simulation of PID and fuzzy logic controller for integrated seat suspension of a quarter car with driver model for different road profiles

Passenger travel comfort is important while analyzing the vibration control of a quarter car model. To achieve the same, various control strategies are employed by the researchers for a 2 Degree of freedom (DOF) quarter car model. We analyzed travel comfort of the passenger by designing and simulating the PID controller and Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for an 8 DOF quarter car with integrated seat suspension and driver model. While testing the performance of the controllers, the system was subjected to four types of road disturbance individually. The responses were compared with each other along with the passive system. The results show that FLC increases the ride quality better than the PID and passive system.

Pre-sliding friction control using the sliding mode controller with hysteresis friction compensator

Friction phenomenon can be described as two parts, which are the pre-sliding and sliding regions. In the motion of the sliding region, the friction force depends on the velocity of the system and consists of the Coulomb, stick-slip, Streibeck effect and viscous frictions. The friction force in the pre-sliding region, which occurs before the breakaway, depends on the position of the system. In the case of the motion of the friction in the sliding region, the LuGre model describes well the friction phenomenon and is used widely to identify the friction model, but the motion of the friction in the pre-sliding such as hysteresis phenomenon cannot be expressed well. In this paper, a modified friction model for the motion of the friction in the pre-sliding region is suggested which can consider the hysteresis phenomenon as the Preisach model. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed friction model, the sliding mode controller (SMC) with hysteresis friction compensator is synthesized for a ball-screw servo system.     

Sliding mode controller with sliding perturbation observer based on gain optimization using genetic algorithm

The Stewart platform manipulator is a closed-kinematics chain robot manipulator that is capable of providing high structural rigidity and positional accuracy. However, this is a complex and nonlinear system, so the control performance of the system is not so good. In this paper, a new robust motion control algorithm is proposed. The algorithm uses partial state feedback for a class of nonlinear systems with modeling uncertainties and external disturbances. The major contribution is the design of a robust observer for the state and the perturbation of the Stewart platform, which is combined with a variable structure controller (VSC). The combination of controller and observer provides the robust routine called sliding mode control with sliding perturbation observer (SMCSPO). The optimal gains of SMCSPO, which is determined by nominal eigenvalues, are easily obtained by genetic algorithm. The proposed fitness function that evaluates the gain optimization is to put sliding function. The control performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the simulation and experiment to apply to the Stewart platform. The results showed high accuracy and good performance.

Evolutionary optimization of sliding mode controller for level control system

This paper accords the level control of single-input-single-output (SISO) level control system based on the fusion of sliding mode control (SMC) and evolutionary techniques or bio-inspired techniques. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) and multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) are considered as two evolutionary techniques. Here, a comparative analysis of performances of an optimal proportional–integral (PI) controller, proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller, conventional SMC, NSGA-II based tuned SMC and SMC parameter tuning using MOPSO algorithm has been carried out through MATLAB/SIMULINK. The objective functions, integral absolute error (IAE), integral squared error (ISE) and an integration of weighted objective function aggregated approach of the error performance indices, IAE and ISE are considered. Realistic conditions are used in a plant for testing the robustness of controller. The stability of the controller is successfully obtained which satisfies the Lyapunov stability criteria. Reduction in long settling time with tiny magnitude variations about an equilibrium point is achieved using bio-inspired techniques. The simulation as well as experimental results reveal that SMC parameter tuning based on NSGA-II algorithm gives a better performance as compared to the other design strategies.

Fuzzy sliding mode controller of a pneumatic active isolating system using negative stiffness structure

A novel active vibration isolation system using negative stiffness structure (active system with NSS) for low excitation frequency ranges (< 5 Hz) is developed successfully. Here, the negative stiffness structure (NSS) is used to minimize the attraction of vibration. Then, the fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) is designed to improve the vibration isolation performance of the active system with NSS. Based on Lyapunov stability theorem, the fuzzy control rules are constructed. Next, the experimental apparatus is built for evaluating the isolation efficiency of the proposed system controlled by the FSMC corresponding to various excitation conditions. In addition, the isolation performance of the active system with NSS, the active system without NSS and the passive the system with NSS is compared. The experimental results confirmed that the active system with NSS gives better isolation efficiency than the active system without NSS and the passive system with NSS in low excitation frequency areas.     

Smooth integral sliding mode controller for the position control of Stewart platform

This paper proposes the application of a new algorithm for the position control of a Stewart platform. The conventional integral sliding mode controller is a combination of nominal control and discontinuous feedback control hence the overall control is discontinuous in nature. The discontinuity in the feedback control is undesirable for practical applications due to chattering which causes the wear and tear of the mechanical actuators. In this paper the existing integral sliding mode control law for systems with matched disturbances is modified by replacing the discontinuous part by a continuous modified twisting control. This proposed controller is continuous in nature due to the combinations of two continuous controls. The desired position of the platform has been achieved using the proposed controller even in the presence of matched disturbances. The effectiveness of the proposed controller has been proved with the simulation results.     

Real-time regulated sliding mode controller design of multiple manipulator space free-flying robot

The problem of controlling Space Free-flying Robots (SFFRs), which have many degrees of freedom caused by their mechanical manipulators, is challenging because of the strong nonlinearities and their heavy computational burden for the implementation of modelbased control algorithms. In this paper, a chattering avoidance sliding mode controller is developed for SFFR as highly nonlinear-coupled systems. To fulfill stability requirements, robustness properties, and chattering elimination, a regulating routine is proposed to determine the proper positive values for the coefficient of sliding condition. To solve the run-time problem, an explicit direct relationship between the SFFR’s output of actuators (force/torque) and the measurement of distances from the corresponding sliding surfaces is also assumed. To reach perfect performance, the parameters are estimated recursively using the Kalman filter as a parameter estimator. The explicit dynamics of a 14-DOF SFFR is derived using SPACEMAPLE, and the recursive prediction error method (RPEM) is used to parameterize the SFFR model. To alleviate the chattering trend, a multi-input sliding mode control law is proposed and applied to the given SFFR based on the online estimated dynamics to control its orientation and position to catch a moving target. To evaluate the new proposed algorithm in a more complicated condition, only on-off actuators are assumed for controlling the base of SFFR because it is the case in real systems. The obtained results show that the proposed regulated sliding mode controller can significantly reduce the chattering trend. Consequently, energy consumption will be substantially decreased, and running the control algorithm will be within a reasonable time duration.     

A new fractional-order sliding mode controller via a nonlinear disturbance observer for a class of dynamical systems with mismatched disturbances

This paper investigates the stabilization and disturbance rejection for a class of fractional-order nonlinear dynamical systems with mismatched disturbances. To fulfill this purpose a new fractional-order sliding mode control (FOSMC) based on a nonlinear disturbance observer is proposed. In order to design the suitable fractional-order sliding mode controller, a proper switching surface is introduced. Afterward, by using the sliding mode theory and Lyapunov stability theory, a robust fractional-order control law via a nonlinear disturbance observer is proposed to assure the existence of the sliding motion in finite time. The proposed fractional-order sliding mode controller exposes better control performance, ensures fast and robust stability of the closed-loop system, eliminates the disturbances and diminishes the chattering problem. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed fractional-order controller is depicted via numerical simulation results of practical example and is compared with some other controllers.
