AN ADAPTIVE SLIDING-MODE FUZZY CONTROL (ASMFC) APPROACH FOR A CLASS OF NONLINEAR SYSTEMS

摘要

This paper uses the concept of sliding-mode control (SMC), as a special approach in nonlinear control theory, in aiding the design of a fuzzy controller. The mathematical specifics of the presented approach are given along with its performance analysis. It was concluded that the new approach with distinctive characteristics holds potential for coping with difficult control problems for a class of complex (generally nonlinear) systems.
