In order to reduce the chattering phenomenon without deteriorating the tracking performance, the discontinuous term of the classical sliding mode law is substituted with an adaptive Proportional Derivative (PD) term. The effect of the approximation error which arises from the PD term is reduced by adding a robust term in the proposed control law. All parameters, adaptive laws and robust control term, are derived based on the Lyapunov stability analysis. The overall adaptive sliding mode scheme guarantees the asymptotic convergence to zero of tracking errors and the boundedness of all signals in the closed-loop system. The proposed approach is applied to a Turbocharged Diesel Engine. Simulation results are presented to show the efficiency of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":127957,"journal":{"name":"22nd Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129217913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the paper, it is assumed that the upper bounds of the uncertainties and nonlinear interconnections are unknown. For such a class of uncertain large scale interconnected dynamical systems, a new method is presented whereby a class of completely decentralized local adaptive robust state observers with a rather simple structure is proposed. It is also shown that for each subsystem, by employing the proposed decentralized adaptive robust state observer, the observation error between the local observer state estimate and the true state of the corresponding subsystem can be guaranteed to be uniformly exponentially convergent towards a ball which can be as small as desired, in the presence of uncertainties.

To estimate the sensor faults we use the descriptor approach. This method consists in augmenting the state system by considering the faults as an auxiliary state. The used observer can estimate simultaneously both the state of LTD system and sensor faults. The observer gains are then determined according to Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) technique. For the step of FTC we construct an output-feedback gain to stabilize the LTD system not only in free-fault case, but also in the fault occurrence. A numerical example is proposed to demonstrate the efficiency of the given design for different form of sensor fault.","PeriodicalId":127957,"journal":{"name":"22nd Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127370509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the presence of the strong nonlinear characteristics of the motor phase inductance (dependence on the current and mechanical position) and parameters variation, the use of a fixed gain current controllers make difficult to ensure high performance with good stability robustness over the entire operating range of the Switched Reluctance Motor. To achieve a better control performance, nonlinearities and parameters variation must be taken into account in the controller design process. We address these issues by designing Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) current controller using synthesis and polytopic representation. This LPV controller assures the stability robustness with a good performance along all possible trajectories of the varying parameter. Simulations, carried out using Matlab/Simulink software, confirm the effectiveness of the proposed controller.","PeriodicalId":127957,"journal":{"name":"22nd Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation","volume":"298 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127561940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results are Lyapunov-based and exploit the symmetric structure present in many compositional or distributed control system. The work extends some of our prior work which defines an equivalence class of symmetric control systems by determining conditions for boundedness of solutions for such systems. The extension is along two lines. First, the prior work was focused on stability for autonomous symmetric systems, and this work extends it to the nonautonomous case. Second, the prior work required exact symmetry in the system whereas the results in this paper allow for symmetry-breaking in the nonautonomous terms, which significantly broadens the class of systems to which these results will apply. These results will be useful for robotics and control engineers dealing with large-scale and distributed systems which are composed of many similar components because it will enable closed-form analysis on a very small system, and then guarantee system properties for much larger equivalent systems. Other potential application areas would be, for example, the design of control algorithms for fleets of autonomous robotic vehicles acting in a coordinated manner.","PeriodicalId":127957,"journal":{"name":"22nd Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126611476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the shown approach appears an useful tool for investigation of the control algorithm in case of some flight disturbances of motion. It is worth of notice that the analysis gives further insight into the airship dynamics.
