In this paper, a new approach to the terminal sliding mode control using adaptive fuzzy sliding surfaces is proposed. The idea behind this approach is to utilize an adaptive sliding surface, in which the slope of the surface is updated on line using a SISO fuzzy logic inference system. We expanded the concepts of terminal sliding mode controller and proposed the terminal sliding mode control input with continuous reaching laws. The computer simulation results have shown the improved performance of the proposed control approach in terms of a decrease in the reaching and settling times and chattering free as compared to the conventional terminal sliding mode control with a fixed sliding surface. The proposed controller has also an advantage that has less computational burden to the conventional terminal sliding mode control using one-directional fuzzy rules.

Variable Structure Controller(VSC) is usually known to have robustness to bounded exogenous disturbances. The robustness is attributed to the discontinuous term in the control input. However, this discontinuous term also causes an undesirable effect called chattering. To alleviate chattering, a hybrid controller consisting of VSC and Fuzzy Logic Controller(FLC) is proposed, which belongs to the category of Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller(FSMC). The role of FLC in FSMC is to replace a fixed gain of a discontinuous term with a time-varying one based on a specified rule base. The characteristics of proposed controller are shown to be similar to those of VSC with a saturation function instead of sign function. The only remarkable difference is the nonlinearity whose form can be adjusted by free parameters, normalize gain, denormalize gain, and membership functions. Applied to AC servo motor, the proposed controller is compared with VSC in a regulation problem as well as a speed tracking problem. The simulation results show a substantial chatter reduction.

This paper presents an observer-based chattering free robust optimal control scheme to regulate the total power of a nuclear reactor. The non-linear model of nuclear reactor is linearized around a steady state operating point to obtain a linear model for which an optimal second order integral sliding mode controller is designed. A second order integral sliding mode observer is also designed to estimate the unmeasurable states. In order to avoid the chattering effect, the discontinuous input of both observer and controller are designed using the super-twisting algorithm. The proposed controller is realized by combining an optimal linear tracking controller with a second order integral sliding mode controller to ensure minimum control effort and robustness of the closed-loop system in the presence of uncertainties. The condition for the selection of gains of discontinuous control based on the super-twisting algorithm is derived using a strict Lyapunov function. Performance of the proposed observer based control scheme is demonstrated through non-linear simulation studies.

This paper describes a robust adaptive sliding mode control (RASMC) for torque ripple minimization of switched reluctance motor (SRM) using it in automotive application. The objective is to control effort smoothness while the system is under perturbations by unstructured uncertainties, unknown parameters and external disturbances. The control algorithm employs an adaptive approach to remove the need for prior knowledge within the bound of perturbations. This is suitable for tackling the chattering problem in the sliding motion of sliding mode control method. The algorithm then incorporates modifications in order to build a chattering-free modified robust adaptive sliding mode control using Lyapunov stability theory.

This article explores the speed regulation problem of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) systems subjected to unknown time-varying disturbances. A continuous sliding mode control (CSMC) technique is introduced for the speed loop to enhance the robustness of PMSM systems and eliminate the chattering phenomenon caused by high-frequency switch function in the conventional control law. However, the high control gain of the CSMC law in the presence of strong disturbances leads to large steady-state speed fluctuations for PMSM systems. In many application fields, PMSM systems are affected by time-varying disturbances instead of constant disturbances. For example, electric bicycles are usually affected by changing environmental disturbances, including wind speeds, road conditions, etc. These disturbances may be in the form of constant, ramp, and parabolic disturbances. Hence, a generalized proportional integral (GPI) observer is employed to estimate these types of disturbances. Then, the disturbance estimation method and the aforementioned CSMC method are combined to establish a composite sliding mode control method called the CSMC+GPI method for the speed loop of PMSM systems. Contrary to the conventional sliding mode control technique, the proposed method completely eliminates the chattering phenomenon caused by the switching function in the conventional control law. Moreover, a small control gain for the CSMC+GPI method is chosen by feed-forwarding estimated values to the speed controller. Hence, the steady-state speed fluctuations are small. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by simulation and experimental result.

To acquire a performed and practical solution that is free from chattering, this study proposes the use of an adaptive super-twisting algorithm to drive a single-phase induction motor. Partial feedback linearization is applied before using a super-twisting algorithm to control the speed and stator currents. The load torque is considered an unknown but bounded disturbance. Therefore, a time-varying switching gain that does not require prior knowledge of the disturbance boundary is proposed. A simple sliding surface is formulated as the difference between the real and desired trajectories obtained from the indirect rotor flux oriented control strategy. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control structure, an experimental setup around a digital signal processor (dS1104) is developed and several tests are performed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate gender differences in behavioral characteristics and their awareness of obese school children. The results were as follows 1. In comparison with eating habits and food preference, the girls had more irregular breakfast and were likely to have vegetables / fruits than the boys. 2. In characteristics related to exercise and activities, boys did more exercise than girls. Particularly, in lunch free time, boys participated in playing various active excercise with friends, but girls participated in more non-active behaviors (such as, chattering, reading, or playing jack-stones). 3. In comparison with their awareness related to obese persons, about a half of boys had positive opinions (e. grong, healthy.), but about only 20% of girls had positive opinions.

As for the marine propulsion shafting system using 4 stroke diesel engine, it is common to apply a reduction gear box between diesel engine and shafting to increase propulsion efficiency, which requires inevitably a certain elastic coupling to avoid chattering and hammering inside of gear box. In this study, the optimum method of rectifying propulsion shafting system in case of 750 ton fishing vessel is theoretically studied in a view of dynamic characteristics of torsion. After the replacement of diesel engine and gear box, the torsional vibration get worse and so some countermeasures are needed. The elastic coupling is modified from a present rubber coupling of block type having relatively high torsional stiffness to a rubber coupling haying two serially connected elements. Torsional vibration damper was installed at crankshaft free end additionally and moment of inertia of flywheel was adjusted. The dynamic characteristics of shafting system was improved by these modification. The theoretical analysis of torsional vibration are compared to measurement results using two laser torsion meters during the sea trial.

The conventional sliding mode control (CSMC) has a number of problems. It may cause dc output voltage ripple and it cannot guarantee the robustness of the whole system for a matrix rectifier (MR). Furthermore, the existence of a filter can decrease the input power factor (IPF). Therefore, a novel global sliding mode control (GSMC) based on a hyperbolic tangent function with IPF compensation for MRs is proposed in this paper. Firstly, due to the reachability and existence of the sliding mode, the condition of the matrix rectifier's robustness and chattering elimination is derived. Secondly, a global switching function is designed and the determination of the transient operation status is given. Then a SMC compensation strategy based on a DQ transformation model is applied to compensate the decreasing IPF. Finally, simulations and experiments are carried out to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the control algorithm. The obtained results show that compared with CSMC, applying the proposed GSMC based on a hyperbolic tangent function for matrix rectifiers can achieve a ripple-free output voltage with a unity IPF. In addition, the rectifier has an excellent robust performance at all times.

Reaction wheels and thrusters are commonly used for the satellite attitude control. Since satellites frequently need fast maneuvers, the minimum time maneuvers have been extensively studied. When the speed of attitude maneuver is restricted due to the wheel torque capacity of low level, the combinational use of wheel and thruster is considered. In this paper, minimum time optimal control performances with reaction wheels and thrusters are studied. We first identify the features of the maneuvers of the satellite with reaction wheels only. It is shown that the time-optimal maneuver for the satellite with four reaction wheels in a pyramid configuration occurs on the fashion of single axis rotation. Pseudo control logic for reaction wheels is successfully adopted for smooth and chattering-free time-optimal maneuvers. Secondly, two different thrusting logics for satellite time-optimal attitude maneuver are compared with each other: constant time-sharing thrusting logic and varying time-sharing thrusting logic. The newly suggested varying time-sharing thrusting logic is found to reduce the maneuvering time dramatically. Finally, the hybrid control with reaction wheels and thrusters are considered. The simulation results show that the simultaneous actuation of reaction wheels and thrusters with varying time-sharing logic reduces the maneuvering time enormously. Spacecraft model is Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT)-2 which is being developed in Korea as an agile maneuvering satellite.
