Abstract
In order to control systems which contain nonlinearities control strategies must deal with the effects of them. Since most of control methods based on system mathematical models have been mainly developed focused on stability robustness against nonlinearities or uncertainties under the assumption that controlled systems are linear time invariant they have certain amount of limita-tions to smartly improve control perfomances of systems disturbed by nonlinearities or uncertainties. In this paper the fuzzy PID control law is suggested which can improve control performances of the nonlinear heavy load hydraulic systems disturbed by nonlinearities and uncertainties. Although the derivation process is based on the design process similar to general fuzzy logic con-troller resultant control law has analytical forms with time varying PID gains rather than linguis-tic forms so that implementation using commn-used versatile microprocessors can be achieved easily and effectively in real-time control aspect.
