A model reference adaptive control(MRAC) theory is very useful for controlling a plant of which the parameters are unknown or vary during operation usint only input-output signal of plant. In this study, 2' nd order discreter time MRAC controller is designed for an electrohydraulic position control system which is represented with nonlinear mathematical model and the least square method is adopted for the para-meter adjustment law. This control algorthm is applied to the position control of electrohydraulic servosystem through computer simulation and the effect of the change of load, sampling time upon the performance following reference model and upon the performance of estimating plant parameters are examined.
