Sliding Mode Controller Design Based on Pole Placement Method / Nor Laili Mahmud...[et al.]

Over the years, many researchers have considered the problem of stabilizing uncertain systems. In variable structure control (VSC) system, the controller structure around the plant is intentionally changed by using a viable high-speed switching feedback control to obtain a desired plant behavior or response. In this paper, the problem of designing a VSC law for uncertain system, Electrohydraulic control system is considered. Using Pole Placement approach, an alternative design method of a linear sliding surface which is linear to the state is developed. A sufficient condition for the existence of linear sliding surface is given and an explicit formula of linear sliding surfaces guaranteeing the quadratic stability of the reduced-order equivalent system dynamics restricted to the sliding surfaces is derived. The sliding mode controller is then applied to an Electrohydraulic servo system. The simulation works were performed using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. A comparison for the controller design using Pole Placement Method with and without the sliding mode control shows that the Pole Placement method with a sliding mode control method produces a better performance response.
