For example, in the set-point control problem of mechanical systems, the static friction （described by a sgn function of velocity of the contacting faces） causes undesired positioning error. In this paper, we will investigate the stabilization problem for a class of nonlinear systems that consist of two subsystems with cascaded connection. We will show the basic idea with a special case first, and then the result will be extended to more general cases. Some interesting numerical examples will be given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design approach.展开更多

New criteria on the relation between phase trajectories and an arbitrary Lipschitz continuous surface are examined firstly. Filippov＇s differential inclusion is adopted to describe the dynamics of trajectories of the closed-loop system with SMC. Compared with Filippov＇s criteria for only smooth surface, new criteria are proposed by utilizing the cone conditions that allow the surface to be nonsmooth. This result also yields a new approaching condition of SMC design. Based on the new approaching condition, we develop the sliding mode controller for a class of nonlinear single-input single-output （SISO） systems, of which the switching surface is designed Lips- chitz continuous for the nonsmooth sliding motion. Finally, we provide a numerical example to verify the new design method.展开更多
