Simplex-type fuzzy sliding-mode control

This paper presents the design of simplex-type fuzzy sliding-mode control ( SFSMC) for a linear multivariable system. Two fuzzy controllers are propose d, one is the fuzzy singleton vector control and the other one is the fuzzy term-set vector control, The control rules of these two SFSMCs are derived from the simplex sliding-mode control scheme and the fuzzy decision logic. A helicopter control system is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers, (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
