Predefined‐Time Dynamic Surface Control of Tank Horizontal Stabilization System With Disturbance

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern new tanks are difficult to achieve high precision control of the horizontal stabilization system due to electromechanical coupling and road surface disturbance during high‐speed combat. A predefined‐time dynamic surface controller (DSCPT) is proposed for the fast stabilization and strong disturbance problems of the tank horizontal ...
