This paper presents a novel equivalent control-based adaptive sliding mode control (EASMC) approach for designing the autopilot of a bank-to-turn (BTT) missile under model uncertainties and external disturbances. The sliding surface is constructed with a tracking error between the real attitude angle and the reference command. The equivalent control technique works as a mechanism for the gains over-bounded by uncertainties and this information is implemented in the adaption progress. The method guarantees that the sliding surface reaches zero in finite time and the error tracks the command value asymptotically. The advantage of this method is that the gains will be adapted to counteract uncertainties and enable the control deflection magnitude to be reduced to the minimum value, keeping the property of a finite-time convergence. The skill in choosing the gains is also given in this paper. Simulation results demonstrate that the approach proposed is able to improve the dynamic performance and robustness of a BTT missile system.

The problem of adaptive sliding mode control is considered for a class of stochastic switched systems with actuator degradation. In this work, the input matrix for each subsystem is unnecessarily the same. Thus, a weighted sum approach of the input matrices is introduced such that a common sliding surface is designed. By online estimating the loss of effectiveness of the actuators, an adaptive sliding mode controller is designed. It can not only compensate the effect of the actuator degradation effectively, but also reduce the conservatism that the bound of the actuator faults should be known in advance. Moreover, it is shown that the reachability of the sliding surface can be guaranteed. Furthermore, sufficient conditions on the mean-square exponential stability of the sliding mode dynamics are obtained via the average dwell time method. Finally, a numerical simulation example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this work, a new air hybrid engine configuration is introduced in which two throttles are used to manage the engine load in three modes of operation i.e. braking, air motor, and conventional mode. A Mean Value Model (MVM) of the engine is developed at braking mode and a new Adaptive Sliding Mode Controller (ASMC), recently proposed in the literature, is applied to control the engine torque at this mode. The results show that the controller performs remarkably well in terms of the robustness, tracking error convergence and disturbance attenuation. Chattering effect is also removed by utilizing the ASMC scheme.

This paper investigates one kind of high performance control methods for Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) gyroscopes using adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) scheme with prescribed performance. Prescribed performance control (PPC) method is combined with conventional ASMC method to provide quantitative analysis of gyroscope tracking error performances in terms of specified tracking error bound and specified error convergence rate. The new derived adaptive prescribed performance sliding mode control (APPSMC) can maintain a satisfactory control performance which guarantees system tracking error, at any time, to be within a predefined error bound and the error convergences faster than the error bound. Besides, adaptive control (AC) technique is integrated with PPC to online tune controller parameters, which will converge to their true values at last. The stability of the control system is proved in the Lyapunov stability framework and simulation results on a Z-axis MEMS gyroscope is conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.

The piezoelectric tube actuator of Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) realizes rapid scanning in nano-scale. However, hysteresis, creep and coupling effect of piezoelectric tube actuator significantly limit the precision of AFM. In this paper, an adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed to minimize the tracking error due to the adverse effects. The piezoelectric tube actuator is characterized as a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear time-varying system because of hysteresis and creep. The controller is designed based on the reduced order nonlinear finite element (FE) model. Hysteresis is divided into a linear part and a bounded time-varying unknown part to reduce the bound of the uncertainties. The latter part together with creep and electrode dislocation is considered as bounded uncertainty. The controller gains of the equivalent control part are estimated through adaptive laws. The sliding mode observer is designed based on Walcott Zak observer for estimating the unmeasurable states. Lyapunov criterion is stated to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system. The simulation of the piezoelectric tube actuator with the adaptive sliding mode controller is performed under scanning operation. The result shows that the tracking errors are bounded in small values. Finally, the performance of the adaptive sliding mode controller is compared with the output feedback controller and the proportional-integral (PI) controller which is commonly adopted in AFM.
