A novel scheme for the design of backstepping control for a class of nonlinear systems

A novel scheme is proposed for the design of backstepping control for a class of state-feedback nonlinear systems. In the design, the unknown nonlinear functions are approximated by the neural networks (NNs) identification models. The Lyapunov function of every subsystem consists of the tracking error and the estimation errors of NN weight parameters. The adaptive gains are dynamically determined in a structural way instead of keeping them constants, which can guarantee system stability and parameter estimation convergence. When the modeling errors are available, the indirect backstepping control is proposed, which can guarantee the functional approximation error will converge to a rather small neighborhood of the minimax functional approximation error. When the modeling errors are not available, the direct backstepping control is proposed, where only the tracking error is necessary. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.

Dynamics analysis and synchronization of a new chaotic attractor

In this paper, a new simple chaotic system is discussed. Basic dynamical properties of the new attractor are demonstrated in terms of phase portraits, equilibria and stability, Lyapunov exponents, a dissipative system, Poincaré mapping, bifurcation diagram, especially Hopf bifurcation. Next, based on well-known Lyapunov stability theorem, backstepping design is proposed for synchronization of the new chaotic system. At last, numerical studies are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented scheme.     

Design,modelling and simulation of a new nonlinear and full adaptive backstepping speed tracking controller for uncertain PMSM

In this study, a new nonlinear and full adaptive backstepping speed tracking control scheme is developed for an uncertain permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Except for the number of pole pairs, all the other parameters in both PMSM and load dynamics are assumed unknown. Three phase currents and rotor speed are supposed to be measurable and available for feedback in the controller design. By designing virtual control inputs and choosing appropriate Lyapunov functions, the final control and parameter estimation laws are derived. The overall control system possesses global asymptotic stability; all the signals in the closed loop system remain bounded, according to stability analysis results based on Lyapunov stability theory. Further, the proposed controller does not require computation of regression matrices, with the result that take the nonlinearities in quite general. Simulation results clearly exhibit that the controller guarantees tracking of a time varying desired reference speed trajectory under all the uncertainties in both PMSM and load dynamics without singularity and overparameterization. The results also show that all the parameter estimates converge to their true values on account of the fact that reference speed signal chosen to be sufficiently rich ensures persistency of excitation condition. Consequently, the proposed controller ensures strong robustness against all the parameter uncertainties and unknown bounded load torque disturbance in the PMSM drive system. Numerical simulations demonstrate the performance and feasibility of the proposed controller.     

Event-triggered boundary stabilization for coupled semilinear reaction–diffusion systems with spatially varying coefficients

This paper aims to address the event-triggered Robin boundary control problem for exponential stabilization of the coupled semilinear reaction–diffusion systems with spatially varying coefficients. The main used method is the backstepping, which allows us to explicitly give the boundary control formulae. More precisely, we first explore the existence and uniqueness of classical solutions for the considered problem. After this, we propose an event-triggered boundary feedback control law to exponentially stabilize the system under consideration with the Zeno phenomenon being excluded. A numerical result is finally included to illustrate the efficiency of our designed controller.     

Adaptive fuzzy backstepping control design for a class of pure-feedback switched nonlinear systems

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy output tracking control approach is proposed for a class of single input and single output (SISO) uncertain pure-feedback switched nonlinear systems under arbitrary switchings. Fuzzy logic systems are used to identify the unknown nonlinear system. Under the framework of the backstepping control design and fuzzy adaptive control, a new adaptive fuzzy output tracking control method is developed. It is proved that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) and the tracking error remains an adjustable neighborhood of the origin. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

High-order sliding mode controller with backstepping design for aeroelastic systems

A nonlinear system for controlling flutter in an aeroelastic system is proposed. The dynamic model describes the plunge and pitch motion of a wing. Interacting nonlinear forces such as structural and aerodynamic forces cause destabilizing phenomena such as flutter and limit cycle oscillation on the wing. Aeroelastic models have a wing section with only a single trailing-edge control surface for suppressing limit cycle oscillation. When modeling a single control surface, the controller design can achieve trajectory control of either plunge displacement or pitch angle, but not both, and internal dynamics describe the residual motion in closed-loop systems. Internal dynamics of aeroelasticity depend on model parameters such as freestream velocity and spring constant. Since single control surfaces have limited effectiveness, this study used leading- and trailing-edge control surfaces to improve control of limit-cycle oscillation. Moreover, two control surfaces were used to provide sufficient flexibility to shape both the plunge and the pitch responses. In this study, high order sliding mode control (HOSMC) with backstepping design achieved system stability and eliminated limit cycle phenomenon. Compared to the conventional sliding mode control design, the proposed control law not only preserves system robustness, but also avoids chatter phenomenon. Simulation results show that the proposed controller effectively regulate the response to origin in state space even under saturated controller input.
