Reduced equivalent systems have inherent closed-loop poles at the origin in the sliding mode for conventional sliding mode control (SMC). A systematic design strategy is developed for arbitrarily placing all SMC closed-loop poles. The speed control of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft whose aerodynamic parameters vary considerably during flight is investigated. An outstanding output tracking performance and robustness against system parameter uncertainties and external disturbances are achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
