Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode Control Based on Adaptive Barrier Function for nth-Order Perturbed Nonlinear Systems
In this study, an adaptive nonsingular finite time control technique based on a barrier function terminal sliding mode controller is proposed for the robust stability of nth-order nonlinear dynamic systems with external disturbances. The barrier function adaptive terminal sliding mode control makes the convergence of tracking errors to a region near zero in the finite time. Moreover, the suggested method does not need the information of upper bounds of perturbations which are commonly applied to the sliding mode control procedure. The Lyapunov stability analysis proves that the errors converge to the determined region. Last of all, simulations and experimental results on a complex new chaotic system with a high Kaplan–Yorke dimension are provided to confirm the efficacy of the planned method. The results demonstrate that the suggested controller has a stronger tracking than the adaptive controller and the results are satisfactory with the application of the controller based on chaotic synchronization on the chaotic system.
