Abstract The electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA) is a kind of power-by-wire (PBW) actuator that converts the electrical power into localized hydraulic power for flight control. In order to solve the problem of flow mismatching in the asymmetric cylinder, this paper presents a novel EHA which applies a three-ports fixed displacement pump to work with the asymmetric cylinder. The working principle of the novel EHA is introduced, and its nonlinear mathematical model is built. The sliding-mode control is proposed to control the position loop of the EHA. The controller structure of EHA is built including the position control using sliding-mode control, the speed control using PI, and the current control using PI. The model of mechanical parts including the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), controller and hydraulic parts are built in the SIMULINK. Simulation results show that the sliding-mode control improves the dynamic response and control accuracy compared with the traditional classic PID.

This paper presents a cascade second-order sliding mode control scheme applied to a permanent magnet synchronous motor for speed tracking applications. The control system is comprised of two control loops for the speed and the armature current control, where the command of the speed controller (outer loop) is the reference of the q-current controller (inner loop) that forms the cascade structure. The sliding mode control algorithm is based on a single input-output state space model and a second order control structure. The proposed cascade second order sliding mode control approach is validated on an experimental permanent magnet synchronous motor drive. Experimental results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy with respect to speed and current control. Moreover, the robustness of the second-order sliding mode controller is guaranteed in terms of unknown disturbances and parametric and modeling uncertainties.

In this paper, the modeling and control design of a biomimetic robotic fish is presented. The Anguilliform robotic fish consists of N links and N - 1 joints, and the driving forces are the torques applied to the joints. Considering kinematic constraints, Lagrangian formulation is used to obtain the dynamics of the fish model. The computed torque control method is applied first, which can provide satisfactory tracking responses for fish joints. Since this robotic fish is essentially an underactuated system, the reference trajectories for the orientation of the N links are planned in such a way that, at a neighborhood of the equilibrium point, the tracking task of N angles can be achieved by using N - 1 joint torques. To deal with parameter uncertainties that exist in the actual environment, sliding mode control is adopted. Considering feasibility and complexity issues, a simplified sliding mode control algorithm is given. A four-link robotic fish is modeled and simulated, and the results validate the effectiveness of reference planning and the proposed controllers.

A model reference adaptive sliding mode control for the position control of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is developed in this article. First of all, a fast sliding surface is designed to achieve faster convergence than the ordinary sliding mode control. Then, the adaptive laws are developed to make the control parameters, especially the switching gain, updated online. Therefore, the chattering can be reduced effectively and the disturbance can be rejected well. Finally, a reference model which produces an exponential decay curve is applied for the position error to follow. Thus, not only fast error convergence can be guaranteed, but also the dynamic process of the system response can be controlled easily by modifying the decay rate of the reference model. The proposed model reference adaptive sliding mode control scheme combines the advantages of the sliding mode control and the model reference adaptive control. Simulation and experimental results reveal that faster and more accurate performance with smoother control signal and better robustness is obtained compared with other methods. Also, the model reference adaptive sliding mode control method can maintain good performance when the system inertia or the position reference varies in a wide range.

A robust high-speed sliding mode control (SMC) of three phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is presented. The SMC served for inner speed control while a simplified hysteresis current control (HCC) scheme was used in the outer current control to generate gating signals for the inverter switches. The present research leverages on the ability of SMC to directly access system speed error which it attempts driving to zero by cancelling modelling uncertainties and disturbances. Performance comparison was done for the SMC model and an existing model having classical PI controller. With the initial positive speed command of 200 rpm at 5 Nm constant loading, rotor speed with SMC neatly settled to the reference speed at 0.085 seconds without overshoot while the rotor speed of the model with PI controller settled at 0.217 seconds after overshoot. This translates to 155.3% speed enhancement. Similar superior speed performance of the SMC was also observed during recovering from sudden speed reversal. While the SMC model recovered and settled to the reference speed of -200 rpm at 0.369 seconds, the model with PI controller settled at 0.482 seconds. From the results, it can be seen that SMC demonstared superiority over the conventioanl PI controller for complex drives systems.

A piston piezoelectric (PZT) pump has many advantages for the use of light actuators. How to deal with the contradiction between the intermittent oil supplying and position control precision is essential when designing the controller. In order to accurately control the output of the actuator, a backstepping sliding-mode control method based on the Lyapunov function is introduced, and the controller is designed on the basis of establishing the mathematical model of the system. The simulation results show that, compared with fuzzy PID and ordinary sliding-mode control, backstepping sliding-mode control has a stronger anti-jamming ability and tracking performance, and improves the control accuracy and stability of the piezoelectric pump-controlled actuator system.
