Design of sliding mode control for a class of uncertain switched systems

This paper considers the problem of sliding mode control for a class of uncertain switched systems with parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. A key feature of the controlled system is that each subsystem is not required to share the same input channel, which was usually assumed in some existing works. By means of a weighted sum of the input matrix, a common sliding surface is designed in this work. It is shown that the reachability of the sliding surface can be ensured by the present sliding mode controller. Moreover, the sliding motion on the specified sliding surface is asymptotically stable under the proposed switching signal dependent on the state and time. Additionally, the above results are further extended to the case that the system states are unavailable. Both the sliding surface and sliding mode controller are designed by utilising state-observer. Finally, numerical simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the present method.

Finite-time output feedback control of uncertain switched systems via sliding mode design

The problem of sliding mode control (SMC) is investigated for a class of uncertain switched systems subject to unmeasurable state and assigned finite (possible short) time constraint. A key issue is how to ensure the finite-time boundedness (FTB) of system state during reaching phase and sliding motion phase. To this end, a state observer is constructed to estimate the unmeasured states. And then, a state estimate-based SMC law is designed such that the state trajectories can be driven onto the specified integral sliding surface during the assigned finite time interval. By means of partitioning strategy, the corresponding FTB over reaching phase and sliding motion phase are guaranteed and the sufficient conditions are derived via average dwell time technique. Finally, an illustrative example is given to illustrate the proposed method.     

On the sliding mode control of MIMO nonlinear systems: An input‐output approach

We address the sliding mode control design problem for output reference trajectory tracking problems in the special class of MIMO flat systems known as static feedback linearizable systems. We assume unavailable system state components but rely on available inputs and measurable flat outputs. Each controller will largely ignore state and control input couplings by adopting a standard sliding mode controller scheme derived from the SISO case and used this as decoupled input‐to‐flat‐output model. The standard controller arises from a vastly simplified pure integration, additively perturbed, system. The simplified pure integration system controlled trajectories are shown to be time‐scale homotopically equivalent to those of the nonlinear flat system. The basic sliding surface coordinate function design is approached from the perspective of structural integral reconstructors requiring only the inputs and the flat outputs of the system. Integral structural reconstructors were introduced by Fliess et al for the control of linear SISO and MIMO systems, giving rise to the generalized proportional integral control method. Simulations are presented for SISO and MIMO systems and experimental results are reported for a two‐degree‐of‐freedom fully actuated robotic manipulator.     

Adaptive sliding mode controller based on super-twist observer for tethered satellite system

ABSTRACT

In this work, the sliding mode control based on the super-twist observer is presented. The parameters of the controller as well as the observer are admitted to be time-varying and depending on available current measurements. In view of that, the considered controller is referred to as an adaptive one. It is shown that the deviations of the generated state estimates from real state values together with a distance of the closed-loop system trajectories to a desired sliding surface reach a μ-zone around the origin in finite time. The application of the suggested controller is illustrated for the orientation of a tethered satellite system in a required position.     

Adaptive H∞ sliding mode control of uncertain neutral‐type stochastic systems based on state observer

This paper is focused on the problem of adaptive sliding mode control design for uncertain neutral‐type stochastic systems under a prescribed H_∞ performance. A simplified state observer is put forward to estimate the unknown state variables, which could be properly incorporated for establishing a new linear‐type switching surface and the associated adaptive variable structure controller. By virtue of the adaptive control design, unknown matched perturbation and potential uncertainties can be counteracted, and the system trajectories are guaranteed to reach the predefined switching surface within finite moment in almost surely sense, and performance analysis of the closed‐loop dynamics during the sliding surface is carried out with a specified H_∞ performance. At last, two illustrative examples through computer simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed scheme.     

Sliding mode control for switched systems subject to successive packet dropout

In this work, the problem of sliding mode control is considered for a class of uncertain switched systems in which the data dropout may happen when the state information is transmitted from the sensor to the controller. Besides, the input matrix for each subsystem is not necessarily the same. First, a common sliding surface depending on dropout probability is constructed by means of a weighted sum approach of the input matrices. And then, a sliding mode controller based on the estimator of the lost signal is designed. It is shown that both the reachability of sliding surface and the stability of sliding mode dynamics can be guaranteed, simultaneously. Finally, a numerical simulation example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Robust ℋ︁∞ sliding mode control for nonlinear stochastic systems with multiple data packet losses

In this paper, an ??_∞ sliding mode control (SMC) problem is studied for a class of discrete‐time nonlinear stochastic systems with multiple data packet losses. The phenomenon of data packet losses, which is assumed to occur in a random way, is taken into consideration in the process of data transmission through both the state‐feedback loop and the measurement output. The probability for the data packet loss for each individual state variable is governed by a corresponding individual random variable satisfying a certain probabilistic distribution over the interval [0 1]. The discrete‐time system considered is also subject to norm‐bounded parameter uncertainties and external nonlinear disturbances, which enter the system state equation in both matched and unmatched ways. A novel stochastic discrete‐time switching function is proposed to facilitate the sliding mode controller design. Sufficient conditions are derived by means of the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. It is shown that the system dynamics in the specified sliding surface is exponentially stable in the mean square with a prescribed ??_∞ noise attenuation level if an LMI with an equality constraint is feasible. A discrete‐time SMC controller is designed capable of guaranteeing the discrete‐time sliding mode reaching condition of the specified sliding surface with probability 1. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Fault tolerant sliding mode control for T-S fuzzy stochastic time-delay system via a novel sliding mode observer approach

In this paper, a fault estimation and fault-tolerant control problem for a class of T-S fuzzy stochastic time-delay systems with actuator and sensor faults is investigated. A novel sliding mode observer is proposed, which can simultaneously estimate the system states, actuator and sensor faults with good accuracy. Based on the state and actuator fault estimation, a new sliding mode control scheme is developed, which can effectively eliminate the influence of actuator fault. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the proposed observer and fault-tolerant sliding mode controller are provided in terms of linear matrix inequality, and moreover, the reachability of the sliding mode surface can be guaranteed under the proposed control scheme. The propose sliding mode observer and fault-tolerant sliding mode controller can overcome the restrictive assumption that the input matrix of all local modes is the same. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed sliding mode observer and fault-tolerant sliding mode control technique.     

Stabilization of Fractional‐Order Linear Systems with State and Input Delay

This paper describes a variable structure control for fractional‐order systems with delay in both the input and state variables. The proposed method includes a fractional‐order state predictor to eliminate the input delay. The resulting state‐delay system is controlled through a sliding mode approach where the controller uses a sliding surface defined by fractional order integral. Then, the proposed control law ensures that the state trajectories reach the sliding surface in finite time. Based on recent results of Lyapunov stability theory for fractional‐order systems, the stability of the closed loop is studied. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the interest of the proposed approach.

Sliding Mode ∑‐Δ Modulation Control of the Boost Converter

A switched implementation of average dynamic output feedback laws trough a ∑‐Δ‐modulator, widely known in the classic communications and analog signal encoding literature, not only frees the sliding mode control approach from state measurements and the corresponding synthesis of sliding surfaces in the plant's state space, but it also allows to effectively transfer all desired closed loop features of an uniformly bounded, continuous, average output feedback controller design into the more restrictive discrete‐valued (ON‐OFF) control framework of a switched system. The proposed approach is here used for the input‐output sliding mode stabilization of the “boost” DC‐to‐DC converter. This is achieved by means of a well known passivity based controller but any other output feedback design would have served our purposes. This emphasizes the flexibility of the proposed sliding mode control design implementation through ∑‐Δ‐modulators.     

Second‐order sliding mode controller design subject to mismatched unbounded perturbations

The dynamics of the second‐order sliding mode (SOSM) can be obtained by directly taking the second derivative on the sliding variable when it has a relative degree of 2 with respect to the control input. However, there will always appear some state‐dependent certain or uncertain terms in the first derivative of the sliding variable, and the derivative directly imposed on these terms could enlarge the uncertainties in the control channel. One method to reduce the uncertainties in the control channel is to hold this information in the dynamics of the first derivative of the sliding variable, while the original SOSM dynamics could be transformed to be a SOSM system with a mismatched unbounded perturbation. This paper focuses on the controller design problem for SOSM dynamics subject to mismatched unbounded perturbation. By using Lyapunov analysis, a novel backstepping‐like design methodology will be proposed. The rigorous mathematical proof will show that under the derived SOSM controller, the closed‐loop sliding mode dynamics is globally finite‐time stable. Meanwhile, the frequently used constant upper bound assumptions for the standard SOSM system can also be extended to the state‐dependent hypotheses in this paper. An academic example is illustrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust passive control of uncertain switched time-delay systems: a sliding mode control design

In this paper, the problem of sliding mode control (SMC) with passivity for a class of uncertain switched time-delay systems is studied. By means of the multiple Lyapunov functions techniques, a delay-dependent sufficient condition for the existence of linear sliding surface of subsystem is deduced in which the solution to the switched sliding mode dynamics is robustly exponentially stable and passive under a state-based switching law. Moreover, the sliding mode controller is designed to drive the system trajectories onto the predefined sliding surface of subsystem in finite time. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Nonfragile observer‐based H ∞ sliding mode control for Itô stochastic systems with Markovian switching

The paper is devoted to investigating sliding mode control for a class of nonlinear uncertain stochastic systems with input nonlinearity and Markovian switching. A nonfragile observer subjected to the transition rates of the modes is designed. By some specified matrices, the connections among the designed sliding surfaces corresponding to every mode are established. The state estimation‐based sliding mode control law is derived to guarantee the reachability of the sliding surface in finite time interval. The sufficient conditions on asymptotically stochastic stability of the error system and sliding mode dynamics with a given disturbance attenuation level are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Discrete-time sliding mode control for uncertain systems with state and input delays

This article presents a discrete-time sliding mode control method for the robust stabilisation of linear uncertain multi-input discrete-time systems with state and input delays. The systems are assumed to have structured mismatched time-varying parameter uncertainties. A specified switching surface is proposed and a sliding mode controller is derived to ensure the existence of the quasi-sliding mode. Based on the improved Lyapunov function and linear matrix inequality technique, delay-independent sufficient conditions for the design of a stable switching surface are given and the stability of the overall closed-loop system is guaranteed. Neither chattering phenomenon will occur nor the knowledge of upper bound of uncertainties is required. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control methodology.
