Parameter tuning and chattering adjustment of Super-Twisting sliding mode control system for linear plants

A simple procedure for tuning the parameters of the Super-Twisting (STW) second-order sliding mode control (2-SMC) algorithm, used for the feedback control of uncertain linear plants, is presented. When the plant relative degree is higher than one, it is known [10] that a self-sustained periodic oscillation takes place in the feedback system. The purpose of the present work is that of illustrating a systematic procedure for control tuning based on Describing Function (DF) approach guaranteeing pre-specified frequency and magnitude of the resulting oscillation. The knowledge of the plant's Harmonic Response (magnitude and phase) at the desired chattering frequency is the only required prior information. By means of a simulation example, we show the effectiveness of the proposed procedure.
