Nonlinear Predictive Sliding Mode Control for Active Suspension System by Dazhuang Wang, Dingxuan Zhao, Mingde Gong, Bin Yang

“…Firstly, a seven-degree-of-freedom active suspension model is established considering the nonlinear effects of springs and dampers; and secondly, the dynamic model is expanded in the time domain, and the corresponding predictive sliding mode control is established. The uncertainties in the controller are approximated by the fuzzy logic system, and the adaptive controller reduces the approximation error to increase the robustness of the control system. …”

Mieux appréhender la neige par le croisement de données qualitatives et quantitatives dans la région de l’Everest (Népal) by Ornella Puschiasis, Marie Savéan, Pierre Chevallier, Joëlle Smadja, Olivia Aubriot, François Delclaux

“…Although quantitative and qualitative data show a similar decrease in snowfall in the Upper Khumbu Valley, which is taken as a case study, there are discrepancies that highlight the uncertainties present in the two data sets. This method of crossing data from different disciplines proves very useful for mountain areas where meteorological stations and precise surveys are lacking, and where the wealth of local people’s knowledge is not sufficiently taken into account.…”

Input-to-State Stabilization of a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems via Observer-Based Event-Triggered Impulsive Control by Xiangru Xing, Jin-E Zhang

“…By resorting to the iterative method and Lyapunov technology, some sufficient criteria are established to guarantee the input-to-state stability of the newly uncertain controlled system under the employed controller, in which an innovative approximation condition as to the uncertain term is proposed and the linear matrix inequality technique is utilized for restraining sophisticated parameter uncertainties. Furthermore, the Zeno behavior in the proposed event-triggered strategy is excluded. …”
