Dynamical adaptive integral backstepping variable structure controller design for uncertain systems and experimental application

Abstract

Summary In this study, a dynamical adaptive integral backstepping variable structure control (DAIBVSC) system based on the Lyapunov stability theorem is proposed for the trajectory tracking control of a nonlinear uncertain mechatronic system with disturbances. In this control scheme, no prior knowledge is required on the uncertain parameters and disturbances because it is estimated by two types of dynamical adaptive laws. These adaptive laws are integrated into the dynamical adaptive integral backstepping control and variable structure control (VSC) parts of the DAIBVSC. The dynamical adaptive law in the dynamical adaptive integral backstepping control part updates parametric uncertainties, while the other in the VSC part adapts upper bounds of non‐parametric uncertainties and disturbances. In order to achieve a more robust output tracking and better parameter adaptation, the control system is extended by one integrator and sliding surface is augmented by an integral action. Experimental evaluation of the DAIBVSC is conducted with respect to performance and robustness to parametric uncertainties. Experimental results of the DAIBVSC are compared with those of a traditional VSC. The proposed DAIBVSC exhibits satisfactory output tracking performance, good estimation of the uncertain parameters and can reject disturbances with a chattering free control law.

Sliding mode disturbance observer control based on adaptive synchronization in a class of fractional‐order chaotic systems

“…where j (∀j = 1, 2, 3) are considered as positive constants and the coefficientsk 's are the estimated values of k j 's. By substituting (29) into (26), we have…”

“…Presume that the sliding surface is defined as (27) and the disturbance-observer is designed as (13). Then, the synchronization errors (25) are bounded and stable under ASMC schemes as (29) and (31).…”

Robust adaptive backstepping sliding mode control for motion mode decoupling of two‐axle vehicles with active kinetic dynamic suspension systems

“…Different from above studies, the proposed AKDSS only employ one nonlinear hydraulic actuator, which has the merit of energy efficient and convenient implementation. Electrohydrostatic actuator (EHA) has strong nonlinear characteristics, thus the advance control theory such as sliding mode control, backstepping control, and adaptive control and so on are applied to achieve nonlinear tracking control of EHA for active suspension. Guan et al proposed an adaptive sliding mode control for electrohydraulic system with considering nonlinear unknown parameters such as original volumes of cylinders, a good performance of tracking task is verified by the experimental results.…”

An improved adaptive fuzzy backstepping control for nonlinear mechanical systems with mismatched uncertainties

“…In the actual system, there is a large class of nonlinear systems that do not meet the matching condition, such as the system of the mechanical hand which driven by the motor. For mismatched uncertainty nonlinear systems, the Backstepping control is very effective and has achieved great success [19][20][21][22][23][24]. Traditional backstepping control needs to repeated differentiations of the virtual control law of the former subsystem.…”
