Chattering Effect

The main goal in developing closed loop control system for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is to make a robust vehicle from natural and exogenous perturbations such as wind, wave, and ocean currents. However a well-known robust control, for instance, Sliding Mode Controller (SMC), gives a chattering effect and it influences the stability of an AUV. Furthermore, some researchers combined other controls to get better result but it tends to present long computational time and causes large energy consumption. Thus, this paper proposed a Super Twisting Sliding Mode Controller (STSMC) with dynamic region concept for an AUV. STSMC or a second order SMC is adopted as a robust controller which is free from chattering effect. Meanwhile, the implementation of dynamic region is useful to reduce the energy usage. As a result, the proposed controller obtains global asymptotic stability which is validated by using Lyapunov-like function. Moreover, some simulations present the efficiency of proposed controller. In conclusion, STSMC with region based control is effective to be applied for the robust tracking of an AUV. It contributes to give a fast response when handling the perturbations, short computational time, and low energy demand.

As the possibility of faults in active suspension actuators are higher and more severe compared to other components, this study presents a fault-tolerant control approach based on the second-order sliding mode control method. The aim of the controller is to improve riding comfort, guarantee handling stability, and provide adequate suspension stroke in the presence of disturbances and actuator faults. A nonlinear full-vehicle suspension system and hydraulic actuator with nonlinear characteristics are adopted for accurate control. Firstly, a nonlinear sliding manifold based on a nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode controller is introduced to suppress the sprung mass heave, pitch, and roll motions arising from road disturbances. Secondly, a second-order sliding mode-based super twisting controller is utilized to track the desired forces generated by the nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode controller with actuator faults and uncertainties. The controllers are robust against disturbances, uncertainties, and faults. Moreover, the stability of the super twisting controller is proved by the strong Lyapunov functions. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the controller. Four different conditions, random road profile, bump road excitation, single-wheel bump excitation, and partial faults are considered. The main contributions of this study are: (1) combination of the above algorithms to deal with actuator faults and improve active suspension performance; (2) the controller proposed in this study has a simple structure. Simulation results indicate that the nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode super twisting controller can guarantee the performance of the closed-loop system under both faulty and healthy conditions.
