Sliding Mode Control in Engineering (Practical Spectroscopy)

by Wilfrid Perruquetti

Sliding Mode Control in Engineering (Practical Spectroscopy) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This reference details the theory, design, and implementation of sliding mode control strategies for linear and nonlinear systems. Expert contributors present techniques such as nonlinear gains, dynamic extensions, and higher-order sliding mode (HOSM) control for increased robustness and stability and decreased breaking and wear in industrial and manufacturing processes. Sliding Mode Control in Engineering examines modern trends in sliding mode control, effective methods to reduce the occurrence of chattering, new theoretical developments in practical realization, stabilization techniques for optimal system performance, and comparisons among popular first-order sliding and higher-order sliding controllers. It also discusses the effect of time delay on system behavior, adaptive control, passivity and flatness, and dynamical output controllers.

Book News Annotation:

A textbook and reference in which engineers from Europe, Latin America, and Israel examine the approach to controlling linear and nonlinear systems from such perspectives as differential inclusions, observers, passivity and flatness, stability and stabilization, and steady modes in relay systems with delay. Applications are described for robotic systems and induction motors.
