Backstepping Sliding-Mode Control of Piezoelectric Single-Piston Pump-Controlled Actuator [PDF]
A piston piezoelectric (PZT) pump has many advantages for the use of light actuators. How to deal with the contradiction between the intermittent oil supplying and position control precision is essential when designing the controller. In order to accurately control the output of the actuator, a backstepping sliding-mode control method based on the ...
