    Variable Structure Control of a Class of Uncertain Systems
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2004) Efe, MÖ; Ünsal, C; Kaynak, O; Yu, XH
    This brief paper proposes a method for tuning the parameters of a variable structure controller. The approach presented extracts the error at the output of the controller and applies a nonlinear tuning law using this error measure. The adaptation mechanism drives the state tracking error vector to the sliding hypersurface and maintains the sliding mode. In the simulations, the approach presented has been tested on the control of Dulling oscillator and the analytical claims have been justified under the existence of measurement noise, uncertainty and large nonzero initial errors.

    Robust and Adaptive Control Design of a Drilling Rig During the Operating Modes
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2019) Sadeghi, Amir Nobahar; Arikan, Kutluk Bilge; Ozbek, Mehmet Efe; Baranoglu, Besim
    Oil well drilling towers have different operating modes during a real operation, like drilling, tripping, and reaming. Each mode involves certain external disturbances and uncertainties. In this study, using the nonlinear model for the modes of the operation, robust and/or adaptive control systems are designed based on the models. These control strategies include five types of controllers: cascaded proportional-integral-derivative, active disturbance rejection controller, loop shaping, feedback error learning, and sliding mode controller. The study presents the design process of these controllers and evaluates the performances of the proposed control systems to track the reference signal and reject the uncertain forces including the parametric uncertainties and the external disturbances. This comparison is based on the mathematical performance measures and energy consumption. In addition, three architectures are presented to control the weight on bit during drilling process, and also to maintain a preset constant weight on bit, two control approaches are designed and presented.

    A robust on-line learning algorithm for intelligent control systems
    (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2003) Efe, MÖ; Kaynak, O; Wilamowski, BM; Yu, XH
    This paper describes a novel error extraction approach for exploiting the strength of Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) optimization technique in intelligent control systems: Since the target value of the control signal is unknown, tuning of the controller parameters becomes a tedious task if the knowledge about the system and the environment is limited. The suggested methodology utilizes the sliding model control (SMC) technique. The error extraction scheme postulates the form of error on the applied control signal using the discrepancy from the prescribed reaching dynamics. The devised approach has been tested on the non-linear Duffing oscillator, which has been forced to follow a periodic orbit radically different from the natural one. The results obtained through a series of simulations have confirmed the high precision and robustness advantages without knowing the analytical details of the system under investigation. The issues of observation noise and the stability in the parametric space have approximately been addressed from the point of SMC perspective. Copyright (C) 2003 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
