Is is a nonlinear system and is sensitive to both external disturbances and system uncertainty. Given these challenges, a nonsingular terminal sliding mode observer is proposed to estimate any external disturbance. Then, a continuous adaptive sliding mode control method is combined with the proposed disturbance observer. This is found to reduce chattering and improve control accuracy when compared with other methods. A full Lyapunov stability proof of the resulting closed-loop system is performed and the effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by simulation experiments.}, issn = {2161-2927}, author = {Ye, Z and Dongya, Z and Spurgeon Sarah, K}, url = {https://doi.org/10.23919/ChiCC.2019.8866343}, keywords = {CSTR, disturbance observer, adaptive sliding mode control} }
