Sliding mode control with gain scheduled hyperplane for LPV plant (Q4938984)

This study presents sliding mode hyperplane design for a class of linear parameter-varying (LPV) plants described as \[ \dot x=A[\theta(t)]x+B[\theta(t)]u,\quad y=C[\theta(t)]x+D[\theta(t)]u, \] where \(x,y\) and \(u\) denote the state vector, the measured output vector and the control input vector, respectively. \(\theta(t)\) is a vector of time-varying plant parameter and all plant matrices are affine functions of the \(\theta(t).\) The proposed hyperplane, involving a linear matrix inequality approach, has continuous dynamics due to scheduling parameters and provides stability and robustness against parameter uncertainties. A time-varying hyperplane for a rotor-magnetic bearing system with a gyroscopic effect, which can be considered as an LPV plant due to parameter dependence on rotational speed, is designed. The obtained hyperplane is continuously scheduled with respect to rotational speed. The authors successfully carry out experiments using a commercially available turbomolecular pump system and results are reasonable and good. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0922.00035].
