Variable Structure Systems: from principles to implementation PDF

The book is divided into 3 parts and contains 17 chapters. Topics covered include: sliding mode regulator design; deterministic output noise effects in sliding mode observation; stochastic output noise effects in sliding mode observation; discrete-time VSS; robustness issues of 2-sliding mode control; sliding modes, delta-modulation and output feedback control of dynamic systems; analysis of sliding modes in the frequency domain; output tracking in causal nonminimum-phase systems using sliding modes; sliding mode control and chaos; sliding modes in fuzzy and neural network systems; SMC applications in power electronics; sliding modes in motion control systems; sliding mode control for automobile applications; the application of sliding mode control algorithms to a diesel generator set; motion control of underwater objects by using second order sliding mode techniques; and semiglobal stabilisation of linear uncertain system via delayed relay control.
