Sliding mode control: an approach to regulate nonlinear chemical processes
A new approach for the design of sliding mode controllers based on a first-order-plus-deadtime model of the process, is developed. This approach results in a fixed structure controller with a set of tuning equations as a function of the characteristic parameters of the model. The controller performance is judged by simulations on two nonlinear chemical processes.
