Based on a simplified model reference adaptive control(SMRAC) algorithm a parameter modification algorithm according to fuzzy laws is proposed in this paper. The method makes the adaptive parameters in SMRAC only rely on the status of performance error. Thus it eliminates the influences of gain coefficients in SMRAC and the amplitude of input signal on the dynamic characteristics. Experiments on various step amplitudes and loads show that the performances of SMRAC are improved by incorporating fuzzy modification method.
The application of a simplifed model reference adaptive control(SMRAC) on a typical Pump controlled motor electrohydraulic servo system is studied here. The algorithm of first-order scalar SMRAC ac second-order vector SMRAC are derived. Computer simulations of the algorithms are presented. Experimental results prove that the method of control adopted here perform satisfactorily over a wide range of operating conditions.
