Variable structure control of systems with uncertain nonlinear friction

A new approach to control system design for systems containing sandwiched, uncertain, non-smooth friction is proposed. The method is based on a multi-state backstepping approach to variable structure control design. Stability and robustness properties are investigated and examples are given. ? 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
