An algorithm of fuzzy variable structrue control is proposed to design a closed loop fuel-injection system for the emission control of automotive gasoline engines. Fuzzy control is combined with sliding control at the switching boundary layer to improve the chattering of the stoichiometric air to fuel ratio. Multi-staged fuzzy rules are introduced to improve the adaptiveness of control system for the various operating conditions of engines, and a simplified technique of fuzzy inference is also adopted to improve the computational efficiency based on nonfuzzy micro-processors. The proposed method provides an effective way of engine controller design due to its hybrid structure satisfying the requirements of robustness and stability. The great potential of the fuzzy variable structure control is shown through a hardware-testing with an Intel 80C186 processor for controller and a typical engine-only model on an AD-100 computer.

A Variable Structure Model Reference Adaptive Controller (VS-MRAC) using state Variables is proposed for single input multi output systems. . The structure of the switching functions is designed based on stability requirements, and global exponential stability is proved. Transient behavior is analyzed using sliding mode control and shows perfect model following at a finite time. The effect of input disturbances on stability and transients is investigated and shows preference to the conventional MRAC schemes with integral adaptation law. Sliding surfaces are independent of system parameters and therefore VS-MRAC is insensitive to system parameter variations. Simulation is presented to clear the theoretical results.

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the asymptotic stability region(ASR) of uncertain variable structure systems with bounded control. Using linear matrix inequalities(LMIs) we estimate the ASR and we show the exponential stability of the closed-loop control system in the estimated ASR. We show that our estimate is always better than the estimate of [3].

In this paper, we propose a variable structure control approach for the system with matched and unmatched uncertainty. By using time-varying sliding mode, the reaching mode is removed, and the design methodology represents a realistic design approach with quadratic criterion for systems incorporating both matched and unmatched uncertainties. The criterion contains states and linear part of input for all time. The practical application of the control strategy is presented in the design of a stability augmentation system for an aircraft is presented.

The variable structure controller is designed such that in sliding mode, the system moves along the switching plane in the vicinity of the switching plane, thus it is robust because it is not affected by the parameter fluctuations of the plant. However, a controller based on a variable structure may not meet the desired performance when it is commanded to track any input or is exposed to disturbances. This study proposes a sliding mode controller that follows the IVSC (Integral Variable Structure Control) approach with ELO (Extended Luenberger observer) to solve this problem. The proposed sliding mode control is applied to the velocity control of the hydraulic motor. The sliding plane was determined by the pole placement, and the control input was designed to ensure the existence of the sliding mode. The feasibility of modeling and controller are reviewed by comparing with conventional proportional-integral control through computer simulation using MATLAB software and experimenting on the cases of significant plant parameter fluctuations and disturbances.

As an essential means of generator voltage regulation, excitation control plays an important role in controlling the stability of the power system. Therefore, the reasonable design of an excitation controller can help improve the system stability. In order to raise the robustness of the generator exciting system under outside interference and parametric perturbation and eliminate chattering in the sliding mode control, this paper presents a generator excitation control based on the quasi-sliding mode pseudo-variable structure control. A mathematical model of the synchronous generator is established by selecting its power, speed and voltage deviation as state variables. Then, according to the existing conditions of the quasi-sliding mode, a quasi-sliding mode pseudo-variable structure controller is designed, and the parameters of the controller are obtained with the method of pole configuration. Simulations show that compared with the existing methods, the proposed method is not only useful for accurate voltage regulation, but also beneficial to improving the robustness of the system at a time when perturbance happens in the system.

In position control system using variable structure control, the velocity of control object is controlled to approach the desired specified velocity patterns, and eventually the position of control object is correctly at reference position. Here, this intention can be success by means of variable structure control. In this paper, the PI velocity feedback control is also used sliding mode controller. The design of position controller under specified velocity profiles in variable structure control's constraints is studied.

Digital Variable Structure Controller(DVSC) is proposed to control variable speed recirculating pump for hot-water heating control system. In this study, nonlinear sliding line is used beyond output error boundary layer and PID sliding line is used within the layer. For long dead time compensation, constraint is added to Smith predictor algorithm. Steady state error is eliminated by using the proposed sliding line in spite of heating load change. By decreasing sampling time, good sliding motion is yielded but system output noise bv flow dynamics is amplified.

In this paper, a robust variable structure tracking controller is designed for the mixed tracking control of highly nonlinear rigid robot manipulators for the first time. The mixed control problem under consideration is extended from the basic tracking problem, with the different initial condition of both the planned trajectory and link of robots. This control problem in robotics is not addressed to until now. The tracking accuracy to the sliding trajectory after reaching is analyzed. The stability of the closed loop system is investigated in detail in Theorem 2. The results of Theorem 2 provide the stable condition for control gains. Combing the results of Theorem 1 and Theorem 2 gives rise to possibility of designing the improved variable structure tracking controller to guarantee the tracking error from the determined sliding trajectory within the prescribed accuracy after reaching. The usefulness of the algorithm has been demonstrated through simulation studies on the mixed tracking control of a two.link robot under parameter uncertainties and payload variations.
