Applications of Reduced Order Sliding Mode Control

Designing reduced order control offers significant advantages by allowing the exclusion of stable and unstable zero dynamics states while keeping the robustness intact. This chapter presents the design of a reduced order sliding mode control applied to three distinct areas: controlling the pendulum angle of an inverted pendulum on a cart, managing the longitudinal dynamics of an aircraft through elevator deflection, and regulating the product concentration in a non-isothermal Van de Vusse reactor using the dilution rate as an input.
