Sliding Mode Control: The Delta-Sigma Modulation Approach (Control Engineering)

This monograph presents a novel method of sliding mode control for switch-regulated nonlinear systems. The Delta Sigma modulation approach allows one to implement a continuous control scheme using one or multiple, independent switches, thus effectively merging the available linear and nonlinear controller design techniques with sliding mode control. Sliding Mode Control: The Delta-Sigma Modulation Approach, combines rigorous mathematical derivation of the unique features of Sliding Mode Control and Delta-Sigma modulation with numerous illustrative examples from diverse areas of engineering. In addition, engineering case studies demonstrate the applicability of the technique and the ease with which one can implement the exposed results. This book will appeal to researchers in control engineering and can be used as graduate-level textbook for a first course on sliding mode control Front Matter....Pages i-xiv Introduction....Pages 1-36 Single-input single-output sliding mode control....Pages 37-87 Delta-Sigma Modulation....Pages 89-125 Multi-variable sliding mode control....Pages 127-163 An Input-Output approach to Sliding Mode Control....Pages 165-210 Differential flatness and sliding mode control....Pages 211-252 Back Matter....Pages 253-258
