Sliding Mode Control in Engineering (Automation and Control Engineering)

This reference details the theory, design, and implementation of sliding mode control strategies for linear and non-linear systems. Expert contributors present techniques such as non-linear 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 behaviour, adaptive control, passivity and flatness, and dynamical output controllers.
