This book describes recent advances in the theory, properties, methods and applications of SMC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"&gt;The book is organised into four parts. The first part is devoted to the design of higher-order sliding-mode controllers, with specific designs presented in the context of disturbance rejection by means of observation and identification. The second part offers a set of tools for establishing different dynamic properties of systems with discontinuous right-hand sides. Time discretization is addressed in the third part. First-order sliding modes are discretized using an implicit scheme - higher-order sliding-mode differentiators, typically used in output-feedback schemes, are discretized in such a way that the optimal accuracy of their continuous-time counterparts is restored.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"&gt;The last part is dedicated to applications. In the context of energy conversion, sliding-mode control is applied to variable-speed wind turbines, fuel cell coupled to a power converter, rugged DC series motors and rectifiers with unity power factor, and electropneumatic actuator. Finally, an event-triggered sliding-mode scheme is proposed for networked control systems subject to packet loss, jitter and delayed transmissions.&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2018 21:34:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">https://shop.theiet.org:443/recent-trends-sliding-mode-hb</guid></item></channel></rss>
