In this paper, a novel discontinuous second-order sliding mode control approach has been developed to handle sliding mode dynamics with a nonvanishing mismatched disturbance by using Lyapunov theory and a finite-time disturbance observer. Firstly, the finite-time disturbance observer is designed to estimate the nonvanishing mismatched disturbance. Secondly, a virtual controller has been constructed based on the estimated value such that the sliding variable can be stabilized to zero in a finite time. Then, the real discontinuous controller is designed to guarantee that the virtual controller can be well tracked in a finite time. Lyapunov analysis also verifies the finite-time stability of the closed-loop sliding mode control system. The developed discontinuous second-order sliding mode control method possesses two appealing features including strong robustness with respect to the matched and mismatched nonvanishing disturbances, and relaxation on the constant upper bound of uncertainties widely used in a conventional second-order sliding mode. Finally, an academic example is illustrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The trajectory-tracking performance of the automobile electro-coating conveying mechanism is severely interrupted by highly nonlinear crossing couplings, unmodeled dynamics, parameter variation, friction, and unknown external disturbance. In this article, a sliding mode control with a nonlinear disturbance observer is proposed for high-accuracy motion control of the conveying mechanism. The nonlinear disturbance observer is designed to estimate not only the internal/external disturbance but also the model uncertainties. Based on the output of the nonlinear disturbance observer, a sliding mode control approach is designed for the hybrid series–parallel mechanism. Then, the stability of the closed-loop system is proved by means of a Lyapunov analysis. Finally, simulations with typical desired trajectory are presented to demonstrate the high performance of the proposed composite control scheme.
