An adaptive sliding mode differentiator for actuator oscillatory failure case reconstruction

This paper proposes an adaptive sliding mode super-twisting differentiator which allows the gains to adapt based on the ‘quality’ of the sliding motion. A Lyapunov based analysis for the adaptive super-twisting scheme is presented to demonstrate its properties. As an example, the adaptive differentiator proposed in this paper has been used as part of a nonlinear FDI scheme for an Oscillatory Failure Case (OFC) in an actuator. The FDI scheme requires an estimate of the rod speed which is provided by the adaptive super-twisting differentiator. Due to the conditions in which the actuator operates, normally the differentiator gains are initialised at low values to ensure good rod speed estimation in fault free conditions. However for large amplitude/frequency OFCs, the gains must adapt in order to maintain sliding and provide a good estimation. Simulations on a high fidelity nonlinear aircraft benchmark model have been carried out for both liquid and solid OFCs.     

A novel adaptive-gain supertwisting sliding mode controller: Methodology and application

A novel super-twisting adaptive sliding mode control law is proposed for the control of an electropneumatic actuator. The key-point of the paper is to consider that the bounds of uncertainties and perturbations are not known. Then, the proposed control approach consists in using dynamically adapted control gains that ensure the establishment, in a finite time, of a real second order sliding mode. The important feature of the adaptation algorithm is in non-overestimating the values of the control gains. A formal proof of the finite time convergence of the closed-loop system is derived using the Lyapunov function technique. The efficiency of the controller is evaluated on an experimental set-up.     

Adaptive uniform finite-/fixed-time convergent second-order sliding-mode control

ABSTRACT

This paper presents an adaptive gain algorithm for second-order sliding-mode control (2-SMC), specifically a super-twisting (STW)-like controller, with uniform finite/fixed convergence time, that is robust to perturbations with unknown bounds. It is shown that a second-order sliding mode is established as exact finite-time convergence to the origin if the adaptive gain does not have the ability to get reduced and converge to a small vicinity of the origin if the adaptation algorithm does not overestimate the control gain. The estimate of fixed convergence time of the studied adaptive STW-like controller is derived based on the Lyapunov analysis. The efficacy of the proposed adaptive algorithm is illustrated in a tutorial example, where the adaptive STW-like controller with uniform finite/fixed convergence time is compared to the adaptive STW controller with non-uniform finite convergence time.     

New variable gain super-twisting sliding mode observer for sensorless vector control of nonsinusoidal back-EMF PMSM

This paper presents a new discrete-time super-twisting sliding mode observer with variable gains for sensorless nonsinusoidal vector control of permanent magnet synchronous motors. This observer is adopted to estimate the back electromotive forces (back-EMF) that are required for the rotor speed estimation and for the nonsinusoidal vector control. In addition, their gains are time-varying to minimize the chattering. So, they are adjusted based on internal states of the super-twisting algorithm. The stability analysis is investigated from the Lyapunov theory for discrete-time systems. Finally, simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the good performance and the effectiveness of the proposed observer.

Approximate causal output tracking for linear perturbed systems via sliding mode control

ABSTRACT

A new approach to the solution of what is termed causal output tracking problem for linear time-invariant systems in the presence of both matched and unmatched unmodelled disturbances is presented. The proposed solution is addressed through the design of a dynamic steady state estimator based on the desired system structure and an observer, considering the reference as the system output. The unmatched disturbance is estimated and used in the steady state estimator to achieve invariance, while the matched disturbance robustness is provided via sliding mode control using the super-twisting algorithm. A useful application of the presented techniques is output tracking for non-minimum phase systems; thus, the performed simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme for this kind of systems.     

Design of an adaptive tracker for n-link rigid robotic manipulators based on super-twisting global nonlinear sliding mode control

This paper develops an adaptive super-twisting global nonlinear sliding mode control technique for n-link rigid robotic manipulators. A novel control law is designed to guarantee elimination of the reaching phase and existence of the sliding mode around the surface right from the initial time. Furthermore, the adaptive tuning law eliminates requirement of the knowledge about the upper bounds of external disturbances. By using the proposed method, a robust controller is designed so that the tracking error of rigid manipulator is convergent to the global nonlinear sliding surface in a finite time, and strong robustness with respect to large uncertainties and disturbances is guaranteed. Illustrative simulations on a two-link elbow robot manipulator and a three degree of freedom rigid manipulator are presented to show the robustness and effectiveness of the suggested design compared to other method. Moreover, a simulation as well as experimental study of a rotary inverted pendulum system demonstrates the applicability of the proposed method.     

An adaptive integral sliding mode FTC scheme for dissimilar redundant actuation system of civil aircraft

ABSTRACT

This paper proposed a new adaptive integral sliding mode FTC scheme to deal with the actuator faults and failure. The scheme combines integral sliding mode control, control allocation scheme and adaptive strategy. The unknown actuator faults are handled by adaptive modulation gain of nonlinear ISMC law. To cope with complete failure, control allocation scheme is integrated with the baseline controller to provide tolerance. The proposed strategy relies on the estimate of actuator effectiveness. Therefore, an adaptive sliding mode observer based fault reconstruction scheme is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme is implemented on dissimilar redundant actuation system driven by hydraulic and electro-hydraulic actuators. In nominal and faulty conditions, both actuators are contributing to achieving the desired control surface deflection. However, when the actuator failure occurs, the control signals are reallocated to the redundant actuator. The problem of dynamics mismatch is addressed using fractional order controller designed in an inner loop. The comparison with the existing literature is also conducted in the simulation to validate the dominant performance.     

Adaptive iterative learning control for robot manipulators: Experimental results

In this paper, two adaptive iterative learning control schemes, proposed by A. Tayebi [2004, Automatica, 40(7), 1195–1203], are tested experimentally on a five-degrees-of-freedom (5-DOF) robot manipulator CATALYST5. The control strategy consists of using a classical PD feedback structure plus an additional iteratively updated term designed to cope with the unknown parameters and disturbances. The control implementation is very simple in the sense that the knowledge of the robot parameters is not needed, and the only requirement on the PD and learning gains is the positive definiteness condition. Furthermore, in contrast with classical ILC schemes where the number of iterative variables is generally equal to the number of control inputs, the adaptive control schemes tested in this paper involve just one or two iterative variables.     

Tracking with asymptotic sliding mode and adaptive input delay effect compensation of nonlinearly perturbed delayed systems applied to traffic feedback control

ABSTRACT

Asymptotical sliding mode-model reference adaptive control design for a class of systems with parametric uncertainty, unknown nonlinear perturbation and external disturbance, and with known input and state delays is proposed. To overcome the difficulty to directly predict the plant state under uncertainties, a control design is based on a developed decomposition procedure, where a ‘generalised error’ in conjunction with auxiliary linear dynamic blocks with adjustable gains is introduced and the sliding variable is formed on the basis of this error. The effect of such a decomposition is to pull the input delay out of first step of the design procedure. As a result, similarly to the classical Smith predictor, the adaptive control architecture based only on the lumped-delays, i.e. without conventional in such cases difficult-implemented distributed-delay blocks. Two new adaptive control schemes are proposed. A linearisation-based control design is constructed for feedback control of an urban traffic region model with uncertain dynamics. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed adaptive control method.

Extended observer-based hybrid tracking control strategy for networked system with FDI attacks

This paper studies the speed tracking control of networked control systems (NCSs) with external disturbance and false data injection (FDI) attacks. First, the system model with external disturbances and FDI attacks is built. Then, an extended observer based on discrete time sliding function and neural network (NN) is proposed to observe the extended states and suppress the effect of external disturbance and FDI attacks. Furthermore, a novel hybrid discrete-time sliding mode control (HDSMC) strategy combining discrete time sliding mode control with super-twisting control is designed to perform closed-loop control of the system, in which the exponential term and nonlinear term are constructed to restrain the jitters. The convergence and reachability of the sliding motion are proofed. Finally, the validity and feasibility of the proposed methods are proved by simulations and experiments.     

Adaptive sliding mode control of uncertain nonlinear systems with preassigned settling time and its applications

This paper investigates the adaptive tracking control of second‐order nonlinear systems with nonlinearly parameterized uncertainties and disturbances, as well as multiplicative uncertainty in the control coefficient matrix. A novel adaptive function augmented sliding mode control approach is proposed such that the tracking error converges to a neighborhood of zero with the preassigned size within the preassigned settling time. In the proposed control scheme, the control gains increase as the adaptive estimate values increase only when necessary, that is, when the current control gains are not big enough to suppress the uncertainties or disturbances; as a result, the conservativeness of control design caused by unnecessary high control gains can be effectively reduced. Moreover, the chattering phenomenon well known in the sliding mode control is eliminated by using the saturation function to replace the signum function, and the possible persistent increasing problem of the adaptive estimate values due to measurement disturbances or noises on the feedback is also well addressed by introducing “dead‐zone” nonlinearities in the adaptive laws. In addition, an improved method to construct the desired error trajectory is proposed, and this method could avoid the large undershoot‐like or overshoot‐like phenomena, which the traditional one may result in. The obtained results are finally applied to the motion control of the underwater vehicle and the rendezvous control of spacecraft, and the simulation results illustrate the effectiveness and the advantages of the proposed control approach.

Certainty equivalence adaptation combined with super-twisting sliding-mode control

ABSTRACT

In this paper, a Lyapunov-based control concept is presented that combines variable structure and adaptive control. The considered system class consists of nonlinear single input systems which are affected by matched structured and unstructured uncertainties. Resorting to the certainty equivalence principle, the controller exploits advantages of both the sliding-mode and the adaptive control methodology. It is demonstrated that the gains of the discontinuous control action may be reduced remarkably when compared with pure sliding-mode-based approaches. The efficiency of the presented concept is demonstrated in detail, using results of numerical simulations.

Second-order Sliding Mode Approaches for the Control of a Class of Underactuated Systems

In this paper, first-order and second-order sliding mode controllers for underactuated manipulators are proposed. Sliding mode control(SMC) is considered as an effective tool in different studies for control systems. However, the associated chattering phenomenon degrades the system performance. To overcome this phenomenon and track a desired trajectory, a twisting, a supertwisting and a modified super-twisting algorithms are presented respectively. The stability analysis is performed using a Lyapunov function for the proposed controllers. Further, the four different controllers are compared with each other. As an illustration, an example of an inverted pendulum is considered. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
