Robust Stabilization of Uncertain Fuzzy Systems Using Variable Structure System Approach

Based on the variable structure system (VSS) theory, we develop a fuzzy control system design method for a class of uncertain nonlinear multivariable systems that can be represented by a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. We make the first attempt to relax the restrictive assumption that each nominal local system model shares the same input channel, which is required in the traditional VSS-based fuzzy control design methods. As the local controller we use a sliding mode controller with a switching feedback control term. In terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), we derive a sufficient condition for the existence of linear sliding surfaces guaranteeing asymptotic stability of the reduced-order equivalent sliding mode dynamics. We present an LMI characterization of such sliding surfaces. We also give an LMI-based algorithm to design the switching feedback control term so that a stable sliding motion is induced in finite time. Finally, we give a numerical design example.     

Decentralized sliding mode control for a class of nonlinear interconnected systems by static state feedback

In this paper, a class of interconnected systems is considered, where the nominal isolated systems are fully nonlinear. A robust decentralized sliding mode control based on static state feedback is developed. By local coordinate transformation and feedback linearization, the interconnected system is transformed to a new regular form. A composite sliding surface which is a function of the system state variables is proposed and the stability of the corresponding sliding mode dynamics is analyzed. A new reachability condition is proposed and a robust decentralized sliding mode control is then designed to drive the system states to the sliding surface in finite time and maintain a sliding motion thereafter. Both uncertainties and interconnections are allowed to be unmatched and are assumed to be bounded by nonlinear functions. The bounds on the uncertainties and interconnections have more general forms when compared with existing work. A MATLAB simulation example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Static output feedback sliding mode control for time‐varying delay systems with time‐delayed nonlinear disturbances

In this paper, a robust stabilization problem for a class of linear time‐varying delay systems with disturbances is studied using sliding mode techniques. Both matched and mismatched disturbances, involving time‐varying delay, are considered. The disturbances are nonlinear and have nonlinear bounds which are employed for the control design. A sliding surface is designed and the stability of the corresponding sliding motion is analysed based on the Razumikhin Theorem. Then a static output feedback sliding mode control with time delay is synthesized to drive the system to the sliding surface in finite time. Conservatism is reduced by using features of sliding mode control and systems structure. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Memory sliding mode control for semi‐Markov jump system with quantization via singular system strategy

This technical note is concerned with the memory sliding mode stabilization for semi‐Markov jump nonlinear systems with input subject to mismatch quantization. Firstly, a sliding mode surface is constructed such that the sliding motion is stochastic admission in terms of linear matrix inequalities by a singular system strategy. A sufficient condition for the existence of linear memory sliding surfaces is given. Then, the memory sliding‐mode quantized controller designing problem is considered by the designed sliding surface function. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Discrete output feedback sliding‐mode control with integral action

This paper presents a novel approach to the problem of discrete time output feedback sliding‐mode control design. The method described applies to uncertain systems (with matched uncertainties) which are not necessarily minimum phase or relative degree one. A new sliding surface is proposed, which is associated with the equivalent control of the output feedback sliding‐mode controller. Design freedom is available to select the sliding surface parameters to produce an appropriate reduced‐order sliding motion. In order for this to be achieved, a static output feedback condition associated with a certain reduced‐order system obtained from the original plant must be solvable. The practicality of the results are demonstrated through the implementation of the controller on a small DC motor test rig. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, we propose a new sliding surface design method for a class of uncertain systems with mismatched unstructured uncertainties. We relax the matching assumption of traditional VSC design methods, and the uncertain system under consideration may have mismatched parameter uncertainties in the state matrix as well as the input matrix. In terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), we give a sufficient condition for the existence of linear sliding surfaces guaranteeing asymptotic stability of the reduced-order equivalent sliding mode dynamics. We give an LMI parameterization of such sliding surfaces together with a switched feedback control strategy.

High Performance Super-twisting Control for State Delay Systems

This paper addresses the design of conventional sliding mode and super-twisting controls for the uncertain system with state delay to achieve the improved transient response. To ensure the stable sliding motion two approaches are proposed. In the first approach, LMI conditions using Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional are derived to guarantee the stability of the sliding motion. In the second approach, we propose the sliding mode control based on a nonlinear switching functional, with which the sliding motion is governed by delay-free dynamics. Effectiveness of the proposed design approaches are shown through numerical simulation of reheat power system.

Computational model for tactile sensing system with wrinkle’s morphological change

ABSTRACT

We previously developed Wrin’Tac, a tactile sensing system that can select sensing modalities by changing its morphology. In this paper, we present a computational model to estimate a wrinkle’s morphology and predict the output of embedded sensing elements in both static indentation and sliding action cases. We evaluated the wrinkle shape and the posture of the sensing element by calculating its height. The wrinkle’s mechanical change is assessed by ascertaining its stiffness under vertical indentation by a spherical indenter. The output voltages of the sensor under static indentation are calculated by the proposed model, and the experimental values have error less than 10%, which validates the accuracy of our proposed model. For dynamic sliding action, this proposed model clarified the capability of wrinkle morphology in an evaluation of such sliding action’s characteristics as the sliding direction and velocity. We also identified the role of the wrinkle’s morphology in the sensor’s sensitivity under different conditions of dynamic sliding motion, implying that this sensing system may select suitable sensitivity for specific sensation tasks. We expect this work to pave the way for assessing the role of morphological changes to tactile sensation and developing soft active tactile sensing systems.     

On variable structure output feedback controllers

In a recent work by Zak-Hui (1993), a sliding-mode controller for MIMO systems using static output feedback was proposed. Very nice geometric conditions for how to design sliding surfaces were given. However, there are two restrictive assumptions in it. One is that the uncertainties in the system must be bounded by a known function of outputs which excludes some possible uncertainties in the A matrix if the system is described by the triple (A, B, C). The other one requires a matrix equality to be held which may also be very difficult to satisfy in many systems. In this paper, we propose a modification of the sliding mode controller for a class of single-input/single-output (SISO) systems which can eliminate the above-mentioned limitations and, under certain conditions, guarantee global closed-loop stability. Hence the range of applicability of Zak-Hui's method can be greatly broadened     

LMI‐based robust sliding control for mismatched uncertain nonlinear systems using fuzzy models

We propose a robust sliding control design method for uncertain Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models. The uncertain fuzzy systems under consideration have mismatched parameter uncertainties in the state matrix and external disturbances. We make the first attempt to relax the restrictive assumption that each nominal local system model shares the same input channel, which is required in the traditional VSS‐based fuzzy control design methods. We derive the existence conditions of linear sliding surfaces guaranteeing the asymptotic stability in terms of constrained LMIs. We present an LMI characterization of such sliding surfaces. Also, an LMI‐based algorithm is given to design the switching feedback control term so that a stable sliding motion is induced in finite time. Finally, we give two simulation results to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We propose a linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based sliding surface design method for integral sliding-mode control of mismatched uncertain systems. The uncertain system under consideration may have mismatched norm bounded uncertainties in the state matrix as well as the input matrix. We give a sufficient condition for the existence of a sliding surface guaranteeing asymptotic stability of the full order sliding mode dynamics. We also give an LMI characterization of the sliding surface, together with an integral sliding mode control law guaranteeing the existence of a sliding mode from the initial time. Additionally, we give an LMI condition of sliding surfaces guaranteeing the alpha-stability constraint. Finally, we give a simulation result to show the effectiveness of our method

Robust delay‐dependent sliding mode control for uncertain time‐delay systems

In this paper, the problem of robust sliding mode control for a class of linear continuous time‐delay systems is studied. The parametric uncertainty considered is a modelling error type of mismatch appearing in the state. A delay‐dependent sufficient condition for the existence of linear sliding surfaces is developed in terms of linear matrix inequality, based on which the corresponding reaching motion controller is designed. A numerical example is given to show the potential of the proposed techniques. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A nonlinear sliding surface to improve performance of a discrete-time input-delay system

A sliding mode controller is proposed for an uncertain input-delay system to enhance performance. A nonlinear sliding surface is proposed to achieve better transient response for general uncertain discrete SISO linear systems with input delay. Both matched and unmatched perturbations are considered and ultimate boundedness of motion is proved. The step tracking problem is analysed. The proposed surface increases the damping ratio of the transformed system (delay free) as the output moves nearer to the setpoint. To simplify the surface design, a linear matrix inequality based tuning procedure is proposed. The control law is designed based on an equivalent control approach which guarantees one step reaching. The scheme is able to achieve low overshoot and low settling time simultaneously which is not possible with a linear sliding surface. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear surface over different linear surfaces.
