Adaptive sliding mode control and observation

ABSTRACT

This editorial article gives a short introduction to Special Issue of International Journal of Control on Adaptive Sliding Mode Control and Observation.     

Adaptive sliding mode control with moving sliding surface

A continuous sliding mode control with moving sliding surface for nonlinear systems of arbitrary order is presented in this paper. The sliding surface is moved repetitively toward the target sliding surface in order to ensure that the system trajectory is close to the actual surface during the whole control process. The parameters of sliding mode control are tuned by a fuzzy logic. The proposed procedure reduces the time when the system operates in the approaching phase during which the control performance is deteriorated since the system is more susceptible to external disturbances and model uncertainties. The effectiveness of the presented approach is demonstrated on a control of a flexible robot manipulator arm.     

Adaptive sliding mode control of chaotic dynamical systems with application to synchronization

We address the problem of control and synchronization of a class of uncertain chaotic systems. Our approach follows techniques of sliding mode control and adaptive estimation law. The adaptive algorithm is constructed based on the sliding mode control to ensure perfect tracking and synchronization in presence of system uncertainty and external disturbance. Stability of the closed-loop system is proved using Lyapunov stability theory. Our theoretical findings are supported by simulation results.     

Adaptive sliding mode control for discrete-time multi-input multi-output systems

In this paper, robust adaptive sliding mode tracking control for discrete-time multi-input multi-output systems with unknown parameters and disturbance is considered. The robust tracking controller is comprised of adaptive control and sliding mode control design. Bounded motion of the system around the sliding surface and stability of the global system in the sense that all signals remain bounded are guaranteed. If the disturbance and the reference signal are slowly varying with respect to the sampling frequency, the proposed sliding mode controller can reject the disturbance and output tracking can be approximately achieved. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the proposed approach.     

Decentralized sliding mode control design using overlapping decompositions

This paper discusses overlapping decentralized sliding mode controller design for large-scale continuous-time systems. Design issues, like connective reachability of the sliding manifold and the stability of the sliding mode equations in the expanded and original state spaces are examined. Application of the results to automatic generation control is also discussed briefly.     

Neural network-based sliding mode control of electronic throttle

A neural network-based sliding mode controller for an electronic throttle of an internal combustion engine is proposed. Electronic throttle is modeled as a linear system with uncertainties and affected by disturbances depending on the states of the system. The disturbances, consisting of an unknown friction and a torque caused by the dual spring mechanism inside the mechanical part of the throttle, are estimated by a neural network whose parameters are adapted on-line. The sliding mode controller and the parameters adaptation scheme are derived in order to achieve a tracking of a smooth reference signal, while preserving boundedness of all signals in the closed-loop system. Experimental results are presented which demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed control scheme.

Second-order terminal sliding mode control for hypersonic vehicle in cruising flight with sliding mode disturbance observer

This paper focuses on the design of nonlinear robust controller and disturbance observer for the longitudinal dynamics of a hypersonic vehicle (HSV) in the presence of parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. First, by combining terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) and second-order sliding mode control (SOSMC) approach, the secondorder terminal sliding control (2TSMC) is proposed for the velocity and altitude tracking control of the HSV. The 2TSMC possesses the merits of both TSMC and SOSMC, which can provide fast convergence, continuous control law and hightracking precision. Then, in order to increase the robustness of the control system and improve the control performance, the sliding mode disturbance observer (SMDO) is presented. The closed-loop stability is analyzed using the Lyapunov technique. Finally, simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, as well as the improved overall performance over the conventional sliding mode control (SMC).     

Comments on “Adaptive multiple-surface sliding control for non-autonomous systems with mismatched uncertainties”

This note points out that the time complexity of the main multiple-surface sliding control (MSSC) algorithm in Huang and Chen [Huang, A. C. & Chen, Y. C. (2004). Adaptive multiple-surface sliding control for non-autonomous systems with mismatched uncertainties. Automatica, 40(11), 1939-1945] is O(2ⁿ). Here, we propose a simplified recursive design MSSC algorithm with time complexity O(n), and, using mathematical induction, we show that this algorithm agrees with this MSSC law.     

Adaptive suboptimal second-order sliding mode control for microgrids

ABSTRACT

This paper deals with the design of adaptive suboptimal second-order sliding mode (ASSOSM) control laws for grid-connected microgrids. Due to the presence of the inverter, of unpredicted load changes, of switching among different renewable energy sources, and of electrical parameters variations, the microgrid model is usually affected by uncertain terms which are bounded, but with unknown upper bounds. To theoretically frame the control problem, the class of second-order systems in Brunovsky canonical form, characterised by the presence of matched uncertain terms with unknown bounds, is first considered. Four adaptive strategies are designed, analysed and compared to select the most effective ones to be applied to the microgrid case study. In the first two strategies, the control amplitude is continuously adjusted, so as to arrive at dominating the effect of the uncertainty on the controlled system. When a suitable control amplitude is attained, the origin of the state space of the auxiliary system becomes attractive. In the other two strategies, a suitable blend between two components, one mainly working during the reaching phase, the other being the predominant one in a vicinity of the sliding manifold, is generated, so as to reduce the control amplitude in steady state. The microgrid system in a grid-connected operation mode, controlled via the selected ASSOSM control strategies, exhibits appreciable stability properties, as proved theoretically and shown in simulation.     

Chattering suppression methods in sliding mode control systems

The implementation of sliding mode control is often irritated by high frequency oscillations known as “chattering” in system outputs issued by dynamics from actuators and sensors ignored in system modeling. This paper provides analysis of chattering in such systems with unmodeled based on the Lyapunov theory and the describing function method. It also describes various approaches to reduce chattering including methods based on relay control gain adaptation. And for those systems to which the methods are not applicable, chattering frequency control using hysteresis loop will be provided.

Dynamic sliding mode control design using attracting ellipsoid method

A methodology for the design of sliding mode controllers for linear systems subjected to matched and unmatched perturbations is proposed. It is considered that the control signal is applied through a first-order low-pass filter. The technique is based on the existence of an attracting (invariant) ellipsoid such that the convergence to a quasi-minimal region of the origin using the suboptimal control signal is guaranteed. The design procedure is given in terms of the solution of a set of Matrix Inequalities. A benchmark example illustrating the design is given.     

Neuro-fuzzy control of antilock braking system using sliding mode incremental learning algorithm

A neuro-fuzzy adaptive control approach for nonlinear dynamical systems, coupled with unknown dynamics, modeling errors, and various sorts of disturbances, is proposed and used to design a wheel slip regulating controller. The implemented control structure consists of a conventional controller and a neuro-fuzzy network-based feedback controller. The former is provided both to guarantee global asymptotic stability in compact space and as an inverse reference model of the response of the controlled system. Its output is used as an error signal by an incremental learning algorithm to update the parameters of the neuro-fuzzy controller. In this way the latter is able to gradually replace the conventional controller from the control of the system. The proposed new learning algorithm makes direct use of the variable structure systems theory and establishes a sliding motion in terms of the neuro-fuzzy controller parameters, leading the learning error toward zero. In the simulations and in the experimental studies, it has been tested on the control of antilock breaking system model and the analytical claims have been justified under the existence of uncertainty and large nonzero initial errors.     

Adaptive sliding mode control of nonlinear robotic systems with time-varying parameters

In this paper an adaptive sliding mode control scheme is presented for nonlinear robotic systems with bounded time-varying parameters. The control scheme developed is very simple and computationally efficient since it does not require a knowledge of either The mathematical model or the parameter values of the robotic dynamics. It is shown that the controller is globally stable in the presence of a class of state-dependent uncertainties and that the size of the tracking error can be made arbitrarily small.     

PD with sliding mode control for trajectory tracking of robotic system

Good tracking performance is very important for trajectory tracking control of robotic systems. In this paper, a new model-free control law, called PD with sliding mode control law or PD–SMC in short, is proposed for trajectory tracking control of multi-degree-of-freedom linear translational robotic systems. The new control law takes the advantages of the simplicity and easy design of PD control and the robustness of SMC to model uncertainty and parameter fluctuation, and avoid the requirements for known knowledge of the system dynamics associated with SMC. The proposed control has the features of linear control provided by PD control and nonlinear control contributed by SMC. In the proposed PD–SMC, PD control is used to stabilize the controlled system, while SMC is used to compensate the disturbance and uncertainty and reduce tracking errors dramatically. The stability analysis is conducted for the proposed PD–SMC law, and some guidelines for the selection of control parameters for PD–SMC are provided. Simulation results prove the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed PD–SMC. It is also shown that PD–SMC can achieve very good tracking performances compared to PD control under the uncertainties and varying load conditions.     

Adaptive sliding mode trajectory tracking control for wheeled mobile robots

This paper discusses the problem of adaptive sliding mode trajectory tracking control for wheeled mobile robots in the presence of external disturbances and inertia uncertainties. A new fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode surface without any constraint is proposed, which not only avoids singularity, but also retains the advantages of sliding mode control. In order to implement the trajectory tracking mission, the error dynamic system is divided into a second-order subsystem and a third-order one. First, an adaptive fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode control law of the angular velocity is constructed for stabilising the second-order subsystem in finite time. Then, another adaptive fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode control law of the linear velocity is designed to guarantee the stability of the third-order subsystem. Finally, a simulation example is provided to demonstrate the validity of the proposed control scheme.
