Inversion-based fuzzy adaptive control with prespecifiable tracking accuracy for uncertain hysteretic systems

Inversion-based control strategies have the outstanding effectiveness in the compensation for hysteresis nonlinearities. However, when the plant is driven by smart material-based actuator with the information absence of hysteresis output, there still exist technical gaps in the construction of hysteresis inverse controller. Therefore, this study aims to address this gap by proposing a novel control scheme. Technically, a novel hysteresis inverse algorithm, significantly reducing computational burden, has been proposed based on a novel adaptive estimation method for the unknown parameter (density function) in the Preisach-typed hysteresis nonlinearity. Furthermore, the inverse compensation error, the nonlinearities and uncertainties appeared in the controlled plant are accommodated by the innovative adaptive fuzzy feedback controller. With our scheme, it can ensure that the closed-loop stability, predefined steady-stated tracking performance and the convergence of algorithms including inverse algorithm and adaptive updating laws. In addition to theoretical analysis, we have validated the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme through simulation comparisons and experimental results conducted by the real-life piezoelectric actuator.
