Tensor Product–Based Model Transformation and Sliding Mode Control of Electromagnetic Actuated Clutch System

This paper suggests two combinations of Tensor Product (TP)-based model transformation plus sliding mode control applied to the position control of nonlinear electromagnetic actuated clutch systems. Two cascade control system structures that consist of a TP-based controller in the inner control loop and a sliding mode-based controller in the outer control loop are presented. The proposed control system structures were tested on the nonlinear process model and validated by simulation results. A comparative analysis is given.
