“…The central idea of the controller is to design a nonlinear sliding surface so that finite time convergence of the system is achieved once the sliding mode is enforced. Since then many developments in TSM controller have been reported (Chiu, 2012;Huang, Lin, & Yang, 2005;Man, Paplinski, & Yu, 1994;Man & Yu, 1997;Yu & Man, 1996). Due to these properties, the SMC and TSM have been implemented successfully in many practical systems and few of them can be found in Abidi, Xin, and She (2009), Feng, Zheng, Yu, and Truong (2009), Li, Zhou, and Yu (2013 and Utkin, Guldner, and Shi (1999).…”
