This study aims to develop an advanced integral terminal sliding-mode robust control method using a disturbance observer (DO) to suppress the forced vibration of a large space intelligent truss structure (LSITS). First, the dynamics of the electromechanical coupling of the piezoelectric stack actuator and the LSITS, based on finite element and Lagrangian methods, are established. Subsequently, to constrict the vibration of the structure, a novel integral terminal sliding-mode control (ITSMC) law for the DO is used to estimate the parameter perturbation of the LSITS based on a continuous external disturbance. Simulation results show that, under a forced vibration and compared with the ITSMC system without a DO, the displacement amplitude of the ITSMC system with the DO is effectively reduced. In the case where the model parameters of the LSITS deviate by ±50%, and an unknown continuous external disturbance exists, the control system with the DO can adequately attenuate the structural vibration and realize robust control. Concurrently, the voltage of the employed piezoelectric stack actuator is reduced, and voltage jitter is alleviated.
