In this paper, a variable structure dynamic output feedback controller with an transformed sliding surface is designed for the improved robust control of a uncertain system under unmatched system uncertainty, matched input matrix uncertainty, and disturbance satisfying some conditions. This paper is extended from the results of the static output feedback VSS in [9]. To effectively remove the reaching phase problems, an initial condition of the dynamic output is determined. The previous some limitations on the dynamic output feedback variable structure controller is overcome in this systematic design. A stabilizing control is designed to generate the sliding mode on the predetermined sliding surface S=0 and as a results the closed loop exponential stability is obtained and proved together with the existence condition of the sliding mode on S=0 for all unmatched system matrix uncertainties. To show the usefulness of the algorithm, a design example and computer simulations are presented.

In this note, a systematic design of a new robust nonlinear integral variable structure controller based on state dependent nonlinear form is presented for the control of uncertain more affine nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties and matched disturbance. After an affine uncertain nonlinear system is represented in the form of state dependent nonlinear system, a systematic design of a new robust nonlinear integral variable structure controller is presented. To be linear in the closed loop resultant dynamics and remove the reaching phase problems, the linear integral sliding surface is suggested. A corresponding control input is proposed to satisfy the closed loop exponential stability and the existence condition of the sliding mode on the linear integral sliding surface, which will be investigated in Theorem 1. Through a design example and simulation studies, the usefulness of the proposed controller is verified.

In this note, a systematic general design of a new robust nonlinear variable structure controller based on state dependent nonlinear form is presented for the control of uncertain affine nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties and mismatched disturbance. After an affine uncertain nonlinear system is represented in the form of state dependent nonlinear system, a systematic design of a new robust nonlinear variable structure controller is presented. To be linear in the closed loop resultant dynamics, the nonlinear integral-type sliding surface is applied. A corresponding control input is proposed to satisfy the closed loop exponential stability and the existence condition of the sliding mode on the nonlinear integral-type sliding surface, which will be investigated in Theorem 1. Through a design example and simulation studies, the usefulness of the proposed controller is verified.

There have been several control schemes for the single input systems with unmeasurable state variables using variable structure control(VSC) theory. In the previous VSC, the systems must be represented in phase canonical form and the complete measurements for each state variable must be assumed. In order to eliminate these restrictions several VSC methods were proposed. And especially for the systems in phase canonical form with unmeasurable state variables, the reduced order switching function algorithm was proposed. But this method has many drawbacks and can not be used in the case of general form (not phase canonical form) dynamic system. Therefore this paper propose new construction method of switching fuction for the systems in phase canonical form, which reduce the restriction of reduced order switching function algorithm. And this algorithm can be realized for any state representation and adopted in the systems where not all states are available for switching function synthesis or control.

This paper proposes a new fuzzy controller using variable structure control theory. In this paper, after the time-varying fuzzy sliding surface is designed, the fuzzy rules are defined based on the variable structure control theory. This design method makes the fuzzy controller design more structured and can guarantee the stability and robustness of the fuzzy controller and overcome the shortcoming of the variable structure system. Through computer simulation and experiment of nonlinear inverted pendulum system, this thesis demonstrate that system has the robustness against disturbance and modelling error, and the tracking performance of it is improved.

In this paper, a variable structure controller(VSC) is used to control the position of the hydraulic servo system subjected to unknown disturbances. The system consists of two cylinders, which connected in series. One cylinder executes position control, the other executes force control to generate disturbances. In order to control each cylinder, interaction must be considered between two cylinders because two cylinders are connected in series. Therefore, the controller is designed regarding interaction between two cylinders as disturbances. Performance of the proposed controller was verified through experiments and compared to PID controller. The experiments showed that the proposed controller had a good performance and robustness.

The concept of variable-geometry truss structure(VGTS) is introduced as a class of actively controlled adaptive structure. VGTS can purposefully vary its geometric configurations by changing the lengths of some members of the structure. General kinematics and inverse kinematics of a statically determinate VGTS(variable geometry truss structure) are studied. The solution technique is based on the Jacobian matrix obtained via joint equilibrium equations. Pseudoinverse control method is applied to resolve the redundancy of a large VGTS. two types of actuator layout of octahedral type VGTS, VG truss and Stewart platform, are compared. Introducing the concept of performance index, Stewart platform based layout was found to has less consumption energy and manipulation time. A functional VGTS model with 3 octahedral modules is designed and manufactured for the labaratory demonstration. Six vertically located length-variable members are used to create general 6 d.o.f. motions.

In this paper, a discrete-time variable structure controller for linear time-varying sampled-data systems with disturbances is proposed. The proposed method guarantees that the system state if globally uniformly ultimately bounded (G.U.U.B), and the ultimate bound is shown to be the order of T, O(T), where T is a sampling period.

In this paper, a new variable structure controller (VSC) is presented. The presented VSC can be applicable to most mechatronic systems such as robotics. A VSC (or also called sliding mode control；SMC) algorithm is presented first, and next, a VSC with nonlinear integral control algorithms is presented. The algorithms use no linear approximation for the derivation of the control law or in the stability proof. It is shown that the robustness of the developed algorithms are guaranteed by the sliding mode control and that the algorithms are globally convergent.
