New compound fractional sliding mode control and super-twisting control of a MEMS gyroscope

Abstract

In this research we propose a new compound Fractional Order Sliding Mode Controller (FOSMC) and SuperTwisting Controller (FOSMC+STC) to control of a MEMS gyroscope. A new sliding mode surface has been defined to design the proposed new sliding mode controller. The main advantages of a FOSMC is its high tracking performance and robustness against external perturbation, but it is susceptible to chattering. By augmenting a STC with a FOSMC, the chattering phenomenon is eliminated, singularity problem is solved and systems robustness has significatnetly improved. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
