Vaidyanathan S., Lien C.-H. (eds.) Applications of Sliding Mode Control in Science and Engineering

New York: Springer, 2017. - 471 p.Introduces readers to new types of sliding mode control (SMC), such as higher order sliding mode control, terminal sliding mode control, integral sliding mode control, and super-twisting sliding mode control
Focuses on the applications of sliding mode control in both science and engineering, e.g. in chaos theory, robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, electrical engineering, physics, chemical engineering, memristors, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, finance, and biology
Features many chapters on the applications of SMC for quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
Illustrates key concepts with theory, examples, and computer simulations
Gathering 20 chapters contributed by respected experts, this book reports on the latest advances in and applications of sliding mode control in science and engineering. The respective chapters address applications of sliding mode control in the broad areas of chaos theory, robotics, electrical engineering, physics, chemical engineering, memristors, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, finance, and biology. Special emphasis has been given to papers that offer practical solutions, and which examine design and modeling involving new types of sliding mode control such as higher order sliding mode control, terminal sliding mode control, super-twisting sliding mode control, and integral sliding mode control.
This book serves as a unique reference guide to sliding mode control and its recent applications for graduate students and researchers with a basic knowledge of electrical and control systems engineering.
