Design of variable structure model-following control systems

A new design concept for adaptive model-following control systems capable of shaping the error transient responses is developed using the theory of variable structure systems and sliding mode. It is shown that the resulting model-following control system exhibits adaptive properties inherent in adaptive model-following systems designed by existing methods. An aircraft control problem which has been approached using various model-following techniques is considered and a performance comparison with the present design is made.
