This paper presents a novel non-singular fast terminal sliding mode control(NFTSMC)based on the deep flux weakening switching point tracking method in order to improve the control performance of permanent interior magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM)drive systems.The mathematical model of flux weakening(FW)control is established,and the deep flux weakening switching point is calculated accurately by analyzing the relationship between the torque curve and voltage decline curve.Next,a second-order NFTSMC is designed for the speed loop controller to ensure that the system converges to the equilibrium state in finite time.Then,an extended sliding mode disturbance observer(ESMDO)is designed to estimate the uncertainty of the system.Finally,compared with both the PI control and sliding mode control(SMC)by simulations and experiments with different working conditions,the method proposed has the merits of accelerating convergence,improving steady-state accuracy,and minimizing the current and torque pulsation.

Observer-based robust high-order fully actuated attitude autopilot design for spinning glide-guided projectiles

This paper investigates the design of an attitude autopilot for a dual-channel controlled spinning glideguided projectile(SGGP),addressing model uncertainties and external disturbances.Based on fixed-time stable theory,a disturbance observer with integral sliding mode and adaptive techniques is proposed to mitigate total disturbance effects,irrespective of initial conditions.By introducing an error integral signal,the dynamics of the SGGP are transformed into two separate second-order fully actuated systems.Subsequently,employing the high-order fully actuated approach and a parametric approach,the nonlinear dynamics of the SGGP are recast into a constant linear closed-loop system,ensuring that the projectile's attitude asymptotically tracks the given goal with the desired eigenstructure.Under the proposed composite control framework,the ultimately uniformly bounded stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously demonstrated via the Lyapunov method.Validation of the effectiveness of the proposed attitude autopilot design is provided through extensive numerical simulations.

Improved estimation of rotor position for sensorless control of a PMSM based on a sliding mode observer

This work proposes a new strategy to improve the rotor position estimation of a permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) over wide speed range. Rotor position estimation of a PMSM is performed by using sliding mode observer(SMO). An adaptive observer gain was designed based on Lyapunov function and applied to solve the chattering problem caused by the discontinuous function of the SMO in the wide speed range. The cascade low-pass filter(LPF) with variable cut-off frequency was proposed to reduce the chattering problem and to attenuate the filtering capability of the SMO. In addition, the phase shift caused by the filter was counterbalanced by applying the variable phase delay compensation for the whole speed area. High accuracy estimation result of the rotor position was obtained in the experiment by applying the proposed estimation strategy.

Robust Adaptive Gain Higher Order Sliding Mode Observer Based Control-constrained Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Spacecraft Formation Flying

This work deals with the development of a decentralized optimal control algorithm, along with a robust observer,for the relative motion control of spacecraft in leader-follower based formation. An adaptive gain higher order sliding mode observer has been proposed to estimate the velocity as well as unmeasured disturbances from the noisy position measurements.A differentiator structure containing the Lipschitz constant and Lebesgue measurable control input, is utilized for obtaining the estimates. Adaptive tuning algorithms are derived based on Lyapunov stability theory, for updating the observer gains,which will give enough flexibility in the choice of initial estimates.Moreover, it may help to cope with unexpected state jerks. The trajectory tracking problem is formulated as a finite horizon optimal control problem, which is solved online. The control constraints are incorporated by using a nonquadratic performance functional. An adaptive update law has been derived for tuning the step size in the optimization algorithm, which may help to improve the convergence speed. Moreover, it is an attractive alternative to the heuristic choice of step size for diverse operating conditions. The disturbance as well as state estimates from the higher order sliding mode observer are utilized by the plant output prediction model, which will improve the overall performance of the controller. The nonlinear dynamics defined in leader fixed Euler-Hill frame has been considered for the present work and the reference trajectories are generated using Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire equations of unperturbed motion. The simulation results based on rigorous perturbation analysis are presented to confirm the robustness of the proposed approach.

Improved control strategy for PMSM based on fuzzy sliding mode control and sliding-mode observer

Aimed at the problems of large torque ripple,obvious chattering and poor estimation accuracy of back-EMFs in traditional permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)control system with sliding mode observer(SMO),an improved control strategy for PMSM based on a fuzzy sliding mode control(FSMC)and a two-stage filter sliding mode observer(TFSMO)is proposed.Firstly,a novel reaching law(NRL)used in the speed loop based on hyperbolic sine function is studied,and fuzzy control ideal is shown to achieve the self-turning of the parameter for the reaching law,thus a fuzzy integral sliding mode controller based on the novel reaching law is designed in speed loop.Then the suppression effect upon chattering caused by the novel reaching law is analyzed strictly by discrete equation.Secondly,in order to restrain the high frequency components and measurement noise in back-EMFs,a two-stage filter structure based on a variable cut-off frequency low-pass filter(VCF-LPF)and a modified back-EMF observer(MBO)is conceived,and the rotor position is compensated reasonably.As a result,a TFSMO is designed.The stability of the proposed control strategy is proved by Lyapunov Criterion.The simulation and experiment results show that,compared with traditional SMO,the controller suggested above can obtain very nice system respond when the motor starts and is subjected to external disturbances,and effectively improve the problems about torque ripple,chattering and the estimation accuracy of back-EMF.

Output feedback adaptive super twisting sliding mode control for quadrotor UAVs

In this paper, a sliding mode control with adaptive gain combined with a high-order sliding mode observer to solve the tracking problem for a quadrotor UAV is addressed, in presence of bounded external disturbances and parametric uncertainties. The high order sliding mode observer is designed for estimating the linear and angular speed in order to implement the proposed scheme. Furthermore, a Lyapunov function is introduced to design the controller with the adaptation law, whereas an analysis of finite time convergence towards to zero is provided, where sufficient conditions are obtained. Regarding previous works from literature, one important advantage of proposed strategy is that the gains of control are parameterized in terms of only one adaptive parameter, which reduces the control effort by avoiding gain overestimation. Numerical simulations for tracking control of the quadrotor are given to show the performance of proposed adaptive control–observer scheme.

Sensor placement for structural damage detection with modal data

A new method is presented for prioritizing sensor locations for structural health monitoring (SHM). In view of the needs of SHM and damage detection,sensor locations are optimized for the purpose of both sensitivity for local damages and independence of the target mode. However,the two different optimization criterions lead to an inconsistency of the optimal result. Considering the structural response changes that result from damage,the relationship between the structural response and damage is deduced from the structural motion equation by a quasi-analytical mode. Based on the harmony between damage identifiability and mode observability,an object function is set up,including the information of mode independence and damage sensitivity. Utilizing the technique of singular value decomposition,an interior algorithm for the optimum sensor placement is proposed with the multiple objective criterions of minimizing the condition number of coefficient matrix and maximizing the fisher information matrix. A numerical example shows that this approach can effectively avoid the contradiction between the two different optimization criterions. Comparing with the result of single object,the result of damage detection from the optical sensor locations is much more accurate.
