Continuous nonsingular terminal sliding mode control for systems with mismatched disturbances Jun Yang Shihua Li Jinya Su Xinghuo Yu 2134/21203 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/Continuous_nonsingular_terminal_sliding_mode_control_for_systems_with_mismatched_disturbances/9227918 A continuous nonsingular terminal sliding mode control approach is proposed for mismatched disturbance attenuation. A novel nonlinear dynamic sliding mode surface is designed based on a finite-time disturbance observer. The time taken to reach the desired setpoint from any initial states under mismatched disturbance is guaranteed to be finite time. In addition, the proposed method exhibits the fine properties of nominal performance recovery as well as chattering alleviation. 2016-05-12 12:59:09 Nonsingular terminal sliding mode Finite-time disturbance observer Mismatched disturbance Engineering not elsewhere classified
