Topic:
Sliding
Mode Control for Systems with Slow and Fast
Dynamics
Speaker:
Thang
Nguyen, Rutgers University
In
this talk, the problem of sliding mode control for
systems with slow and fast
dynamics, which are attributed to a small parameter,
corresponding to small time
constants, small masses, small moments of inertia, and
so on, is addressed.

Topic:
Sliding Mode Control with Industrial
Applications
Speaker
Professor Wu-Chung Su, National Chung
Hsing University, Taiwan
Abstract: Variable
structure control is well-known for its unique attribute,
called sliding mode, which leads to a superb system
performance that includes external disturbances rejection
and parameter variations insensibility. Since its first
appearance in IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control in
1977 as a review paper by V. I. Utkin, the variable
structure systems (VSS) theory has attracted lots of
researchers’ attention with a tremendous amount of works
devoted to this research area. It is now believed to be
one of the most flourishing research areas in the field of
Controls for the past decades. This talk will start in a
tutorial format that covers the fundamental knowledge of
VSS with discontinuous controls, as a transition to the
key techniques in formulating a control problem using the
sliding mode control (SMC) method. They include the
crucial problems such as the matching condition, sliding
surface design, reaching condition, chattering phenomenon,
and so on. The underline methodologies extend to the
advanced research topics on sampled-data control, singular
perturbations and distributed parameter systems.
Industrial applications such as switched reluctance motor
torque control, pneumatic cylinder servo, plastic
extrusion process temperature control, and wireless
network power control problems will be demonstrated.
Speaker’s Biography: Wu-Chung Su is a professor
at Electrical Engineering Department of National Chung
Hsing University, Taiwan. He received a Ph. D. degree from
the Ohio-State University in 1994 and a Masters degree
from Rutgers University in 1990, both in Electrical &
Computer Engineering. His research interests are in
singular perturbations, weakly coupled systems, sliding
mode control, and power control for wireless communication
networks. He has coauthored one book, Optimal Control of
Weakly Coupled Systems and Applications, Francis and
Taylor 2008, and published thirteen journal papers, seven
of them in IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and
Automatica. He was Chairman of EE Department (2004-2006),
Chairman of Board of Professor’s Council (2003-2005), Dean
of Office of Research and Development (2001), and Director
of Center of Innovation Incubator (2001) at National Chung
Hsing University. Professor Su is currently on sabbatical
leave as a Visiting Professor in the Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers University.
