Abstract Hydraulic actuators are highly nonlinear when they are subjected to different types of model uncertainties and dynamic disturbances. These unfavorable factors adversely affect the control performance of the hydraulic actuator. Although various control methods have been employed to improve the tracking precision of the dynamic system, optimizing and adjusting control gain to mitigate the hydraulic actuator model uncertainties remains elusive. This study presents an adaptive back-stepping sliding mode controller (ABSMC) to enhance the trajectory tracking precision, where the virtual control law is constructed to replace the position error. The adaptive control theory is introduced in More >

Abstract Electro-hydraulic actuators (EHA) have recently played a significant role in modern industrial applications, especially in systems requiring extremely high precision. This can be explained by EHA’s ability to precisely control the position and force through advanced sensors and innovative control algorithms. One of the promising approaches to improve control accuracy for EHA systems is applying classical to modern control algorithms, in which the proportional–integral–derivative (PID) algorithm, fuzzy logic controller, and a hybrid of these methods are popular options. In this paper, we developed a novel version of the fuzzy control algorithm and linear feedback control… More >
