Abstract

Discrete sliding mode control (DSCM) is one of the best techniques in analyzing the dynamics of nonlinear systems. This paper presents an improved discrete quasi-sliding mode control strategy in which the control input for the next step is determined by considering the dynamics of the current disturbance, which improves the robustness of the system dynamics with relatively smaller control effort.  In fact, the existing techniques fail to deliver satisfactory response for parameter variations and time-varying external disturbances, where as the complete robustness is guaranteed in the proposed technique. This improved strategy is applied to two different systems under various environmental conditions and the results obtained demonstrate its effectiveness and improved efficiency.

 Keywords: Variable-structure system, discrete time system, quasi sliding-mode, state-space.
