This paper describes a new method for the design of adaptive model-following control systems. This design concept is developed using the theory of slide mode. Authors present new results on the sliding control methodology to achieve accurate tracking for a class of multi-input multi-output, time-varying systems in the presence of parameter variations and disturbances. This algorithm can be easily applied to the multivariable control systems and obtained a smoother control signal in comparison to variable structure model following control systems. The design technique is easy and the control structure is simple. The design requires little computational effort. The control system is less sensitive to plant parameter variations and noise disturbances.

This paper studies a variable structure adaptive model following control system which can control a plant in which the parameters of the controlled plant can not be estimated because they vary with time and in which the controlled plant has noise. The values of the feedback gain matrices for given states are obtained the equivalent control law, and the adaptive controller has been designed using the adaptive mechanism which switches the matrices. The adaptive controller minimizes the state error vector, that is, the difference between the state vector of the model and the state vector of the controlled plant. A controlled plant which has time varying parameters, a controlled plant which has only noise, and a controlled plant which has both have been controlled by the designed adaptive controller. The continuous single input-output system has been analysed by computer. This control system may be used to control practical systems by the addition of a microcomputer.

This paper presents an adaptive fuzzy controller using an neural network and adaptation algorithm. Reference-model following neuro-fuzzy controller(RMFNFC) is invesgated in order to overcome the difficulty of rule selecting and defects of the membership function in the general fuzzy logic controller(FLC). RMFNFC is developed to tune various parameter of the fuzzy controller which is used for the discrete nonlinear system control. RMFNFC is trained with the identification information and control closed loop error. A closed loop error is used for design criteria of a fuzzy controller which characterizes and quantize the control performance required in the overall control system. A control system is trained up the controller with the variation of the system obtained from the identifier and closed loop error. Numerical examples are presented to control of the discrete nonlinear system. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Vibration isolation tables are mostly required in precise measurement and manufacturing system. Among the vibration isolation tables, an air spring is the most favorable equipment because of low resonant frequency and high damping ratio. However, it is difficult to design the air spring with the required stiffness and damping ratio. Futhermore, whenever conventional active control methods are applied to the air spring, it may be difficult to obtain effective control performance due to high nonlinearity of air spring. In this paper, the optimal design of the air spring is performed using genetic algorithm to bring out low resonant frequency and high damping ratio. Also, active control of the vibration isolation table with 3-DOF model is proposed using the adaptive control method. Through experiments, optimal design is shown to be effective. And performance of the proposed control method is verified to be better than those of the passive control method and the conventional active control methods.

The purpose of this study is to design the intelligent speed control system for marine diesel engine by combining the Model Matching Method and the Nominal Model Tracking Method. Recently for the speed control of a diesel engine some methods using the advanced control techniques such as LQ control Fuzzy control or H$\infty$ control etc. have been reported. However most of speed controllers of a marine diesel engine developed are still using the PID control algorithm But the performance of a marine diesel engine depends highly on the parameter setting of the PID controllers. The authors proposed already a new method to tune efficiently the PID parameters by the Model Mathcing Method typically taking a marine diesel engine as a non-oscillatory second-order system. It was confirmed that the previously proposed method is superior to Ziegler & Nichols's method through simulations under the assumption that the parameters of a diesel engine are exactly known. But actually it is very difficult to find out the exact model of the diesel engine. Therefore when the model and the actual diesel engine are unmatched as an alternative to enhance the speed control characteristics this paper proposes a Model Refernce Adaptive Speed Control system of a diesel engine in which PID control system for the model of a diesel engine is adopted as the nominal model and a Fuzzy controller is adopted as the adaptive controller, And in the nominal model parameters of a diesel engine are adjusted using the Model Matching Method. it is confirmed that the proposed method gives better performance than the case of using only Model Matching Method through the analysis of the characteristics of indicial responses.
