Sliding Mode Control in Electro-mechanical Systems (Automation and Control Engineering)

Book Description:

"Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is gaining increasing importance as a universal design tool for the robust control of linear and nonlinear systems. Its strengths result from the ease and flexibility of the methodology for its design and implementation. It provides inherent order reduction, direct incorporation of robustness against system uncertainties and disturbances, and an implicit stability proof. It also allows the design of high performance control systems at low cost."--BOOK JACKET. "This book provides a unique combination of theory, implementation issues, and examples of real-life applications. It is of use to both researchers and industrial engineers in its presentation of the many benefits of sliding mode control."--BOOK JACKET.
