Switching event-triggered self-adjusting prescribed performance force control of electrohydraulic load simulator.

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of switching event-triggered self-adjusting prescribed performance force control of electro-hydraulic load simulator (EHLS). A reduced-order fuzzy speed state observer for speed estimation is designed and a self-adjusting performance boundary is devised to mitigate the commutation jitter problem. The switching event-triggered mechanism dynamically adjusts the triggering conditions to optimize resource utilization. To reduce the complexity of the traditional inverse stepping control, the dynamic surface technique is adopted. The results demonstrate that the proposed control method guarantees the boundedness of the closed-loop system states and confines the tracking error to a small range near the equilibrium point within a finite time horizon. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through experimentation.
