Non-fragile observer-based H∞ finite-time sliding mode control

Abstract H ∞ finite-time control for uncertain system with the unmeasurable state via the sliding mode control (SMC) approach is discussed in this article. Our attention is to design an appropriate finite-time SMC law to attenuate the influences of parametrical uncertainty and external disturbance. First, an appropriate non-fragile observer-based finite-time SMC law is designed such that the state trajectories can arrive at the specified sliding surface during the finite-time interval. Then, finite-time boundedness (FTBs) is well implemented by partitioning strategy and sufficient conditions are given to realize FTBs for the augment system with H ∞ performance. Next, the controller gain and observer gain are obtained by solving the corresponding linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a RLC series circuit shows the effectiveness of the proposed SMC approach.
