Abstract:
a* A nonsingular terminal sliding mode control is introduced for a class of fourth-order systems. a* First, the fourth-order system is decoupled into two second-order subsystems. a* Lyapunov stability theorem is used to guarantee the existence of the sliding mode. a* The proposed control method achieves a finite time convergence for both subsystems. a* Simulation results not only show a faster convergence speed, but also possess lower IAE and ITAE values.
