Design of a Sliding Mode Controller with Nonlinear Boundary Transfer Characteristics

Sliding mode control (SMC) with variable nonlinear boundary layer is proposed. Two Fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are used to decide both boundary layer thickness and nonlinear interpolation using sigmoid function in the boundary layer. The nonlinear interpolation in the boundary layer suing FLC reduces stead state error and chattering. Sigmoid function is used to nonlinear interpolation in the boundary layer sigmoid function parameter with FLC. To demonstrate its performance, the Proposed control algorithm is applied to a simple nonlinear system.
