Decentralised sliding mode control for nonminimum phase nonlinear interconnected systems
Abstract
A class of interconnected systems with nonlinear interconnectionsand nonlinear disturbances is considered. A continuous nonlinearreduced-order compensator is established by exploiting thestructure of the uncertainties. A sliding surface is proposed inan augmented space formed by the system output and the compensatorvariables, and the stability of the corresponding sliding mode isanalysed. Then, a robust decentralised dynamical output feedbacksliding mode controller is designed to drive the system to thecomposite sliding surface and maintain a sliding motion on itthereafter.
