| Abstract: | Stability conditions for a nonstationary automatic-control system of variable structure in sliding mode are established. The controller of the system has feedback-switched filters functioning together with the shaper and actuator. The nonstationary parameters of the system vary within given ranges, at a finite rate, under appropriate control laws, with adjustment for the error signal, its derivatives of finite order, and all variable parameters of the filter. The parameters of the switching hyperplane remain constant. This approach to stability analysis is based on the existence conditions for the sliding mode at the switching boundary in the phase space. The general stability and instability criteria are applied to nonstationary automatic filtered-control systems of variable structure of the third order __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 10, pp. 116–134, October 2006. |
