Fuzzy discontinuous term for a second order asymptotic DSMC: An experimental validation on a chemical reactor

In this work, a second order asymptotic discrete sliding mode control with a fuzzy supervised discontinuous term is proposed. The on line variation of the discontinuous term amplitude enhances the convergence rapidity of the sliding function and reduces the chattering phenomenon. These improvements are shown by a numerical simulation and by a real time temperature control of a chemical reactor. Good performances in terms of chattering suppression and reaching phase duration's reduction are noted.
