ABSTRACT
Aiming at the position control system of digital hydraulic cylinders with multiple nonlinear factors and coupled forces, this study proposes a switched fuzzy sliding mode adaptive control strategy (TDAFSMC). This study proposes a TDAFSMC strategy that employs fuzzy logic to approximate switching terms for chattering suppression, while utilizing a tracking differentiator to enhance dynamic response characteristics. Lyapunov theory ensures stability through adaptive weight adjustment. Simulations show 41.7% faster response and 2.0% lower error versus PID. With response speed error maintained below 8.0% and tracking error under 1.0 %, they confirm the feasibility, effectiveness, and superior performance of the proposed control strategy.
