Abstract

This paper investigates a novel nonsingular fast terminal sliding-mode control method for the stabilization of the uncertain time-varying and nonlinear thirdorder systems. The designed disturbance observer satis es the nite-time convergence of the disturbance approximation error and the suggested nite-time stabilizer assures
the presence of the switching behavior around the switching curve in the nite time. Furthermore, this approach can overcome the singularity problem of the fast terminal sliding-mode control technique. Moreover, knowledge about the upper bounds of the disturbances is not required and the chattering problem is eliminated. Usefulness and e ffectiveness of the o ffered procedure are con rmed by numerical simulation results.
