Sliding Mode Control: The Delta-Sigma Modulation Approach [Hardcover]

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.

Introduction.- SISO Sliding Mode Control.- Delta-Sigma Modulation.- MIMO Sliding Mode Control.- Input-Output Sliding Mode Control.- Flatness and Sliding.

The objective of this book is to present fundamental knowledge about sliding-mode control as well as the most recent developments in theory and applications. To be comprehensible, diverse examples are employed to demonstrate applicability in numerous areas. & The book is a valuable textbook for beginners in sliding-mode control. It can also be a reference for experienced researchers in both academia and industry. This book can be used in senior undergraduate- and/or graduate-level courses.
