Higher order sliding mode definitions were formulated.• It was shown that higher order
sliding modes are natural phenomena for control systems with discontinuous controllers if …

In this paper, a synergistic combination of neural networks with sliding mode control (SMC)
methodology is proposed. As a result, the chattering is eliminated and error performance of …

The use of a boundary layer in sliding-mode control has been a common technique to
reduce chattering of the control signal. However, different choices of the boundary layer …

In the general framework of hydraulic servo systems, this paper addresses the problem of
position control in the presence of important friction nonlinearities. The accent falls on the …

High-gain proportional-integral-derivative (PID) position control involves some risk of unsafe
behaviors in cases of abnormal events, such as unexpected environment contacts and …

A decentralized variable structure control algorithm is developed for robotic manipulators to
cause sliding modes to exist. New approaches are used to reach the sliding mode and to …

Synchronization of chaotic and uncertain Duffing–Holmes system has been done using the
sliding mode control strategy. Regarding the synchronization task as a control problem …

Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) has a potential to improve traffic throughput,
fuel efficiency and vehicle safety. The CACC utilizes onboard sensors and a wireless …

A variable structure model reference adaptive controller (VS-MRAC) using only the input
and output measurements of the plant is proposed. Stability and transient properties are …

Since the hydraulic actuating suspension system has nonlinear and time-varying behavior, it
is difficult to establish an accurate model for designing a model-based controller. Here, an …
