This paper presents a new method with time-varying boundary layer and input gain, variated by Fuzzy Logic Control(FLC) by means of the system state in Sliding Mode Control (SMC). In addition to the time-varying boundary layer, the time-varying range of the fuzzy membership function has an effect on not only chattering reduction but also fast response characteristics. On the basis of SMC with time-varying boundary and FLC with time-varying input and output range, a computer simulation for inverted pendulum results in elimination of the chattering phenomenon and fast response.

Baroclinic hydraulic model experiments on the time-varying states of the flow pattern and water exchange in Sagami Bay were carried out based on quasi-steady state experiments on the flow pattern. For the model experiments, density changes as well as time changes in the volume transport of the upper layer were executed to investigate the flow response of the bay in the case of a sudden inflow of low density water and variable volume transport into the Sagami Bay. The results of the model experiments showed that when the volume transport was increased frontal eddies or frontal wave streamers from the Kuroshio Through Flow were transferred to the inner part of the bay along with cyclonic circulation in the bay. In addition, density boundary currents appeared and flowed along the eastern boundary of the bay. As the upper layer density decreased, frontal eddies, frontal streamers and coastal boundary density currents occurred and proceeded along the eastern boundary of the bay at a high speed.

This paper presents a methodology combining sliding mode control and fuzzy control to tune the boundary layer and input gain according to the system state. The equivalent control is designed such that the nominal system exhibits desirable dynamics, The robust control with fuzzy self-tuning is then developed to guarantee the reaching condition and reduce chattering phenomenon in the presence of parameter and disturbance uncertainties.

The sliding mode controller with a boundary layer implemented by simplified indirect inference method (SIIM) fuzzy logic was proposed. The components of the sliding line function are used for the inputs of the SIIM fuzzy logic. The proposed control system is simple because there is no need to derive the sigmoid function and there are only four rules. The overall stability of the proposed system and the boundness of the tracking error are proved easily using the Lyapunov theory. We apply the proposed controller to control a nonlinear time-varying system. The computer simulation showed the validity of the proposed control system.

In this paper, a methodology is developed to remove the reaching phase and the high frequency chattering phenomenon which are the common drawbacks of variable structrue control (VSC) system. A time varying switching surface is proposed to achieve sliding motion during the entire control process and a continuous control law whose terms are continuous functions inside a boundary layer neighbouring the time varying switching surface is developed to remove the high frequency chattering phenomenon of VSC. The methodology developed in this paper is applied to the 2'nd order time varying system and the simulated results are compared with those of typical VSC methodology.

In this paper, the variable structure model following control scheme is proposed for the nonlinear robot manipulator system. The proposed control system guarantees that the system state is in the sliding mode for all time. Therefore, error transient can be prescribed in advance for all time. Furthermore, overall system is globally exponentially stable. Chattering problem is reduced by the introduction of a boundary layer. Simulation results are given to show the usefulness of the proposed control scheme.

This paper suggests the variable structure controller with a new variable boundary layer for the accurate tracking control of the variable structure systems. Up to now, variable structure controller (VSC) applying the variable boundary layer did not remove chattering from an arbitrary initial state of the system trajectory because VSC has the limited initial state according to the fixed sliding surface. But, by using the linear time-varying sliding surfaces, the scheme has the robustness against chattering from all states. The suggested method can be applied to the second-order nonlinear systems with parameter uncertainty and extraneous disturbances, and has better tracking performance than the conventional method. To demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm, it is applied to a two-link manipulator.

Past experience indicates that the majority of failures of electrical transmission tower structures occurred during high intensity wind events, such as downbursts. The wind load distribution associated with these localized events is different than the boundary layer wind profile that is typically used in the design of structures. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study represents the first comprehensive investigation that assesses the effect of varying the downburst parameters on the structural performance of a transmission line structure. The study focuses on a guyed tower structure and is conducted numerically using, as a case study, one of the towers that failed in Manitoba, Canada, during a downburst event in 1996. The study provides an insight about the spatial and time variation of the downburst wind field. It also assesses the variation of the tower members' internal forces with the downburst parameters. Finally, the structural behaviour of the tower under critical downburst configurations is described and is compared to that resulting from the boundary layer normal wind load conditions.

In this paper, A new time-varying sliding surface design using eigenvalue locus is proposed to achieve fast and robust in a class of high-order uncertain dynamic system. A moving sliding surface(MSS) was proposed earlier for the second-order variable structure control systems(VSCS). This methodology led to fast and robust control responses of the second-order VSCS. However, the moving algorithm of the MSS was too complicated to be employed the high-order VSCS. To resolve this problem, we propose a new moving algorithm that switching surface moves such that the eigenvalues of equivalent system in the sliding mode have a predetermined locus. Using the proposed surface fast and robust behaviors are accomplished. The problem of chattering can be eliminated by using a boundary layer of switching surface. The efficiency of proposed algorithm is illustrated by an application to four-order workbench.

The effect of pressure gradients on the hairpin structures in three different turbulent boundary layers (ZPG : Re(sub)$\theta$=910, FPG : Re(sub)$\theta$=575, APG : Re(sub)$\theta$=1290) has been examined with instantaneous velocity fields obtained in streamwise-wall-normal planes using PIV (particle image velocimetry) method. In the outer layer hairpin vortices occur in streamwise-aligned packets that propagate with small velocity dispersion. The signature pattern of the hairpin consists of a spanwise vortex core located above a region of strong second quadrant fluctuation (u<0 and v>0 : Q2 event) is clearly observed. The formation of packets explains the occurrence of multiple VITA events in turbulent burst. Noticeable differences are found in the average inclination angles of hairpin vortex packets which are 45$^{\circ}$, 35.7$^{\circ}$, and 51.9$^{\circ}$in the case of ZPG, FPG and APG, respectively. It is found that the large, time-varying, irregularly shaped zones with nearly constant streamwise momentum exist throughout the boundary layer. Within the interior of the envelope the spatial coherence between the velocity fields induced by the individual vortices leads to strongly retarded streamwise momentum, explaining the zones of uniform momentum. The formation of the uniform momentum zone is remarkably different with respect to the pressure gradients especially in the logarithmic layer.
