Noise rejection, handling the difficulties coming from the mathematical representation of the system under investigation and alleviation of structural or unstructural uncertainties constitute prime challenges that are frequently encountered in the practice of systems and control engineering. Designing a controller has primarily the aim of achieving the tracking precision as well as a degree of robustness against the difficulties stated. From this point of view, variable structure systems theory offer well formulated solutions to such ill-posed problems containing uncertainty and imprecision. In this paper, a simple controller structure is discussed. The architecture is known as Adaptive Linear Element (ADALINE) in the framework of neural computing. The parameters of the controller evolve dynamically in time such that a sliding motion is obtained. The inner sliding motion concerns the establishment of a sliding mode in controller parameters, which aims to minimize the error on the controller outputs. The outer sliding motion is designed for the plant. The algorithm discussed drives the error on the output of the controller toward zero learning error level, and the state tracking error vector of the plant is driven toward the origin of the phase space simultaneously. The paper gives the analysis of the equivalence between the two sliding motions and demonstrates the performance of the algorithm on a three degrees of freedom, anthropoid robotic manipulator. In order to clarify the performance of the scheme, together with the dynamic complexity of the plant, the adverse effects of observation noise and nonzero initial conditions are studied.

A Lyapunov approach to constructing switching surfaces for variable structure systems is investigated in this paper. The method guarantees sliding mode for any initial condition of the state vector and asymptotic stability is always achieved during sliding motion. An application for  the design of  a variable structure ship steering controller is carried out and  simulation results are presented. The designed controller exhibits robustness as applied to a linear time-invariant ship model and a time varying non-linear  ship model operating in  an uncertain and  time-varying environment.

Perspectives of using sliding mode control in e-learning are discussed. The concepts of variable structure systems and sliding mode control are given. Analysis of convergence based on the second Lyapunov's method is presented. The analysis presented is based on the dynamic models of learning available in the literature. The suitability of the use of sliding mode to adaptation of level of challenge of the tasks in e-learning is demonstrated. It is shown that with frequent enough evaluation of tasks, optimal level of task challenge can be ensured.

AbstractVariable structure systems with sliding modes have been widely discussed and used in many different fields of applications. The precise behaviour at a switching surface is complicated because there the system is non-analytic. The damped simple harmonic oscillator with a nonlinear variable structure is discretised and analysed in detail, revealing the occurrence and structure of pseudo-sliding modes which give insight to the corresponding sliding modes for the continuous system. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained and the analysis illustrated with graphs from numerical solutions.

A self-tuning fuzzy-sliding mode controller is presented in the current work. It aims at combining the advantages of the variable structure systems (VSS) theory with the self-tuning fuzzy logic controller. Neither the development of an accurate dynamic model of the plant nor the construction of a rule-based expert system is required for designing the controller. The only requirement is that the upper bound of the modeling uncertainties has to be known. The stability of the controlled system is ensured by forcing the tuning parameter to satisfy the sliding condition. The controller is implemented to control the heading of an under-actuated ship. The simulation results demonstrate the robust performance of the controller in accurately tracking the desired yaw angle specified by the guidance system in the presence of considerable modeling imprecision and environmental disturbances.

A new robust state and parameter estimation strategy called the Variable Structure Filter (VSF) has recently been proposed and used for state and parameter estimation. A very common problem of linear stochastic systems is to design a combined robust control and estimation strategy, given system and noise uncertainties. Variable Structure Control (VSC) and its special form of Sliding Mode Control (SMC) show superb robustness. This paper proposes a new strategy involving the Sliding Mode Control and the Variable Structure Filter. Both the estimator and controller are based on the concepts of Variable Structure Systems (VSS). In the presence of bounded parametric uncertainties and noise, a robust stability is guaranteed. Further more, the combined strategy can be used to achieve high regulation rates or short settling times. The object of this paper is to introduce this combined VSF and SMC strategy and to demonstrate its application to a third order model of a high precision hydrostatic system, referred to as the Electrohydraulic Actuator System (EHA).
