Abstract:
An adaptive dynamic sliding mode control via a backstepping approach for a microelectro mechanical system (MEMS) vibratory z-axis gyroscope is presented in this paper. The time derivative of the control input of the dynamic sliding mode controller (DSMC) is treated as a new control variable for the augmented system which is composed of the original system and the integrator. This DSMC can transfer discontinuous terms to the first-order derivative of the control input, and effectively reduce the chattering. An adaptive dynamic sliding mode controller with the method of backstepping is derived to real-time estimate the angular velocity and the damping and stiffness coefficients and asymptotical stability of the designed systems can be guaranteed. Simulation examples are investigated to demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the proposed adaptive backstepping sliding mode control.

Open and closed-loop control systems
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...

If, however, the bob is a slotted metal plate, the magnet produces a much smaller effect. When a slotted metal plate enters the field, an emf is induced by the change in flux; however, it is less effective because the slots limit the...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
