On sliding mode observers for systems with unknown inputs

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADAPTIVE CONTROL AND SIGNAL PROCESSING, Issue 8-9 2007
T. Floquet
Abstract This paper considers the problem of designing an observer for a linear system subject to unknown inputs. This problem has been extensively studied in the literature with respect to both linear and nonlinear (sliding mode) observers. Necessary and sufficient conditions to enable a linear unknown input observer to be designed have been established for many years. One way to express these conditions is that the transfer function matrix between the unknown input and the measured output must be minimum phase and relative degree one. Identical conditions must be met in order to design a ,classical' sliding mode observer for the same problem. This paper shows how the relative degree condition can be weakened if a classical sliding mode observer is combined with sliding mode exact differentiators to essentially generate additional independent output signals from the available measurements. A practical example dedicated to actuator fault detection and identification of a winding machine demonstrates the efficacy of the approach. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Model reference adaptive control using a low-order controller

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADAPTIVE CONTROL AND SIGNAL PROCESSING, Issue 3 2001
Daniel E. Miller
Abstract In the model reference adaptive control problem, the goal is to force the error between the plant output and the reference model output asymptotically to zero. The classical assumptions on a single-input,single-output (SISO) plant is that it is minimum phase, and that the plant relative degree, the sign of the high-frequency gain, and an upper bound on the plant order are known. Here we consider a modified problem in which the objective is weakened slightly to that of requiring that the asymptotic value of the error be less than a (arbitrarily small) pre-specified constant. Using recent results on the design of generalized holds for model reference tracking, here we present a new switching adaptive controller of dimension two which achieves this new objective for every minimum phase SISO system; no structural information is required.

Boundedness in Lurie system with stiffening nonlinearities

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 6 2008
Abdallah Ben Abdallah
Abstract In this paper, we deal with the problem of boundedness of solutions in single-input single-output Lurie system. We prove the boundedness of solutions from the stability of zero dynamics under a restriction on the nonlinearity. The linear block is supposed to be of relative degree one or two, stabilizable by high-gain output feedback and not necessary minimum phase. The nonlinearity is required to have the stiffening property. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Discrete output feedback sliding-mode control with integral action

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 1 2006
Nai One Lai
Abstract This paper presents a novel approach to the problem of discrete time output feedback sliding-mode control design. The method described applies to uncertain systems (with matched uncertainties) which are not necessarily minimum phase or relative degree one. A new sliding surface is proposed, which is associated with the equivalent control of the output feedback sliding-mode controller. Design freedom is available to select the sliding surface parameters to produce an appropriate reduced-order sliding motion. In order for this to be achieved, a static output feedback condition associated with a certain reduced-order system obtained from the original plant must be solvable. The practicality of the results are demonstrated through the implementation of the controller on a small DC motor test rig. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]
