Engine Limit Management with Sliding Modes

Abstract

This chapter develops a method to maintain critical engine variables within allowable limits, without the disadvantages associated with the standard min–max approach. Guidelines for the association of sliding mode regulators to logic max or min selectors are given, along with an ${\mathcal{H}}_{2}/{\mathcal{H}}_{\infty }$ sliding coefficient synthesis method. Simulations using the CMAPSS nonlinear engine model are included.
