The attitude tracking control problem of a spacecraft nonlinear system with external disturbances and inertia uncertainties is studied. Two robust attitude tracking controllers based on finite-time second-order sliding mode control schemes are proposed to solve this problem. For the first controller, smooth super twisting control is applied to quaternion-based spacecraft-attitude-tracking maneuvers. The second controller is developed by adding linear correction terms to the first super twisting control algorithm in order to improve the dynamic performance of the closed-loop system. Both controllers are continuous and, therefore, chattering free. The concepts of a strong Lyapunov function are employed to ensure a finite-time convergence property of the proposed controllers. Theoretical analysis shows that the resulting control laws have strong robustness and disturbance attenuation ability. Numerical simulations are also given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control laws.

This article presents the implementation results of second order sliding mode control (SOSM) for magnetic levitation system. In practical systems, especially when the actuators are electro-mechanical, the conventional (first order) sliding mode control can not be used effectively as it exhibits chattering, which is highly undesirable. Therefore, for such systems, sliding mode control of higher order can be a suitable choice as the reduce the chattering significantly. In this article the super-twisting control, which isa second order sliding mode control, is designed and implemented for the experimental setup of Maglev system, Model 730 developed by ECP systems.

This paper investigates the robust finite-time control problem for flexible spacecraft attitude tracking maneuver in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. Two robust attitude tracking controllers based on finite-time second-order sliding mode control algorithms are presented to solve this problem. For the first controller, a novel second-order sliding mode control scheme is developed to achieve high-precision tracking performance. For the second control law, an adaptive-gain second-order sliding mode control algorithm combing an adaptive law with second-order sliding mode control strategy is designed to relax the requirement of prior knowledge of the bound of the system uncertainties. The rigorous proofs show that the proposed controllers provide finite-time convergence of the attitude and angular velocity tracking errors. Numerical simulations on attitude tracking control are presented to demonstrate the performance of the developed controllers.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a sliding mode attitude controller for reusable launch vehicle (RLV) which is nonlinear, coupling, and includes uncertain parameters and external disturbances. Design/methodology/approach – A smooth second-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) controller is proposed for RLV in reentry phase. First, a NTSM manifold is proposed for finite-time convergence. Then a smooth second sliding mode controller is designed to establish the sliding mode. An observer is utilized to estimate the lumped disturbance and the estimation result is used for feedforward compensation in the controller. Findings – It is mathematically proved that the proposed sliding mode technique makes the attitude tracking errors converge to zero in finite time and the convergence time is estimated. Simulations are made for RLV through the assumption that aerodynamic parameters and atmospheric density are perturbed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy is effective, leading to promising performance and robustness. Originality/value – By the proposed controller, the second-order sliding mode is established. The attitude tracking error converges to zero in a finite time. Meanwhile, the chattering is alleviated and a smooth control input is obtained.

This paper presents a stabilization method for an underactuated ball-and-beam system (BABS) based on a second-order sliding mode (SOSM) control. The BABS is an underactuated nonlinear system that is widely used to verify nonlinear control performance. Virtual control is introduced to a second-order BABS subsystem to minimize control performance inaccuracy by using model linearization. An actual virtual controller with variable finite-time tracking is achieved using a second-order sliding mode controller. An adaptive robust method is proposed to solve an uncertainty problem with unknown upper bounds, and then a finite-time convergence theory proof is given. Theory, simulation and experiment results verify the efficiency of the BABS controller.
