Sliding Mode Control Using Novel Sliding Surfaces

From the reviews:

The main contribution of this book, i.e., introduction of the nonlinear sliding hypersurfaces, is combined with several other results recently obtained in the field of variable structure control systems. These include multi-objective sliding mode design, integral sliding mode control, composite nonlinear feedback and reaching phase elimination by the application of time-varying sliding hypersurfaces in continuous time systems. Furthermore, the use of the nonlinear sliding surfaces is combined with application of multi-rate output feedback in discrete time systems.

The results presented in this book are well worked out theoretically both for continuous and discrete time systems. They are also verified by a number of simulation case studies and laboratory experiments. Furthermore, some non-trivial extensions for the plants with saturating inputs, input delays and unmatched disturbances are also given in the text. This research monograph is of high reference value for researchers and PhD students working on various aspects of nonlinear, and in particular sliding mode control systems.
