Sliding modes after the first decade of the 21st century : state of the art ; [collection of the plenary and semiplenary talks in the joint 11th IEEE Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS2010) and the principal meeting for the international project

**The book presents the newest results of the major world research groups working in the area of Variable Structure Systems and Sliding Mode Control (VSS/SMC). The research activity of these groups is coordinated by the IEEE Technical Committee on Variable Structure Systems (VSS) and Sliding Modes (SM). The presented results include the reports of the research groups collaborating in a framework of the Unión European Union – México project of Fondo de Cooperación Internacional en Ciencia y Tecnología (FONCICyT) 93302 titled "Automatization and Monitoring of Energy Production Processes via Sliding Mode Control". The book starts with the overview of the sliding mode control concepts and algorithms that were developed and discussed in the last two decades The research papers are combined in three sections: Part I: VSS and SM Algorithms and their Analysis Part II: SMC Design Part III: Applications of VSS and SMC The book will be of interests of engineers, researchers and graduate students working in the area of the control systems design. Novel mathematical theories and engineering concepts of control systems are rigorously discussed and supported by numerous applications to practical tasks.** Front Matter....Pages - Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Sliding Mode Enforcement after 1990: Main Results and Some Open Problems....Pages 3-57 Finite-Time Stability and High Relative Degrees in Sliding-Mode Control....Pages 59-92 Frequency-Domain Methods in Conventional and Higher-Order Sliding Mode Control....Pages 93-112 Lyapunov Approach for Analysis and Design of Second Order Sliding Mode Algorithms....Pages 113-149 A New Design of Sliding Mode Control Systems....Pages 151-167 Second-Order Sliding Mode Approaches to Control and Estimation for Fractional Order Dynamics....Pages 169-197 Discussion about Sliding Mode Algorithms, Zeno Phenomena and Observability....Pages 199-219 Front Matter....Pages 221-221 Output Feedback Sliding Mode Control of Uncertain Systems in the Presence of State Delay with Applications....Pages 223-244 Sliding Mode Controller Design: An Input-Output Approach....Pages 245-268 Output Feedback Sliding Mode Control Approaches Using Observers and/or Differentiators....Pages 269-292 Sliding Modes for Fault Detection and Fault Tolerant Control....Pages 293-323 Applying Sliding Mode Technique to Optimal Filter and Controller Design....Pages 325-349 Output Tracking and Observation in Nonminimum Phase Systems via Classical and Higher Order Sliding Modes....Pages 351-380 Discrete-Time Sliding Mode Control Using Output Feedback and Nonlinear Surface....Pages 381-405 Front Matter....Pages 407-407 Higher Order Sliding Modes in Collaborative Robotics....Pages 409-437 Two Applications of Sliding Mode Control in Energy Generation and Power Electronics....Pages 439-463 Advances in High Order and Adaptive Sliding Mode Control – Theory and Applications....Pages 465-492 Sliding Mode Controllers and Observers for Electromechanical Systems....Pages 493-516 Synthesis of Canonical Elements for Power Processing Based on Sliding-Mode Control....Pages 517-540 Second Order Sliding Modes to Control and Supervise Industrial Robot Manipulators....Pages 541-567 Front Matter....Pages 407-407 Sliding Block Control of Electrical Machines (Motors and Generators)....Pages 569-595 Back Matter....Pages - The book presents the newest results of the major world research groups working in the area of Variable Structure Systems and Sliding Mode Control (VSS/SMC).
