Design Of Adaptive Sliding Mode Controller For Uncertain Pendulum System, Dina H. Tohma, Ahmed K. Hamoudi Jul 2026

Design Of Adaptive Sliding Mode Controller For Uncertain Pendulum System, Dina H. Tohma, Ahmed K. Hamoudi

Engineering and Technology Journal

This work aims to study and apply the adaptive sliding mode controller (ASMC) for the pendulum system with the existence of the parameters uncertainty, external disturbances, and coulomb friction. The adaptive sliding mode controller has several features over the conventional sliding mode control method. Firstly, the magnitude of the control signal is reduced to the minimally acceptable level defined by special conditions concerned with ASMC algorithm. Secondly, the upper bounds of uncertainties are not necessary to be defined before starting the work. For this reason, the ASMC can be used successfully to control the pendulum system with minimum control effort. …
