A New Approach to Sliding Mode Control of Nonlinear Non-Affine Systems

In this paper, we present a new method for designing continuous sliding mode controller (SMC) without chattering for nonlinear non-affine systems. The proposed design methodology results in removing the chattering and reserve invariance property of closed loop system completely. So the attractive properties of SMC such as invariance, simplicity in design and concept are reserved.
