A Novel Fuzzy Logic Based Adaptive Supertwisting Sliding Mode Control
  Algorithm for Dynamic Uncertain Systems
  This paper presents a novel fuzzy logic based Adaptive Super-twisting Sliding
Mode Controller for the control of dynamic uncertain systems. The proposed
controller combines the advantages of Second order Sliding Mode Control, Fuzzy
Logic Control and Adaptive Control. The reaching conditions, stability and
robustness of the system with the proposed controller are guaranteed. In
addition, the proposed controller is well suited for simple design and
implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed controller over the first
order Sliding Mode Fuzzy Logic controller is illustrated by Matlab based
simulations performed on a DC-DC Buck converter. Based on this comparison, the
proposed controller is shown to obtain the desired transient response without
causing chattering and error under steady-state conditions. The proposed
controller is able to give robust performance in terms of rejection to input
voltage variations and load variations.
