The objective of this paper is to further explore the finite-time tracking control problem of a general form of uncertain secondorder affine nonlinear system with the new forms of terminal sliding mode （TSM）. Discontinuous and continuous finite-time controllers are also developed respectively without the singularity problem. Complete robustness can be acquired with the former, and enhanced robustness compared with the conventional boundary layer method can be expressed as explicit bounded function with the latter. Simulation results on the stabilizing and tracking problems are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control algorithms.展开更多

With this model, it is not necessary to linearize the yield condition and its discrete form becomes a minimization problem of the sum of Euclidean norms subject to linear constraints. Aimed at resolving the non-differentiability of Euclidean norms, a smoothing algorithm for the limit analysis of perfect-plastic continuum media is proposed. Its efficiency is demonstrated by computing the limit load factor and the collapse state for some plane stress and plain strain problems.展开更多
