Abstract In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of a system consisting of two coupled nonlinearly Duffing oscillators, obtained from a nonlinear electrostatic device which is a prototype of emitters and receivers in communication engineering. Inverse or backward period doubling cascades and sudden transition to chaos are observed. A sliding mode controller is applied to control the electrostatic transducers system. The sliding surface used is one dimension higher than the traditional surface and guarantees its passage through the initial states of the controlled system. By means of the design of sliding mode dynamics characteristics, the controlled system performance is arbitrarily determined by assigning the switching gain of the sliding mode dynamics. Therefore, using the characteristic of this sliding mode we aim to design a controller that can meet the desired specification and use less control energy by comparing with the result in the current literature. The results show that the proposed controller can steer electrostatic transducers to the desired reference trajectory without chattering phenomenon and abrupt state change. Ó 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction Many investigations have considered various models of dynamical systems in the study of mechanical vibrations [1– 10]. Among these, good models candidate of nonlinearly coupled oscillators have particular interest due to their application in various physical systems such as electromechanical, chemical and biological systems. The linear superposition principle which is valid for linear differential equations is no longer valid for those systems. A physical consequence is that when the given system admits an oscillatory motion, the frequency of the oscillation is in general amplitude-dependent, particularly, this can have drastic consequence in the case of forced and damped nonlinear oscillators leading to nonlinear resonances and jump (hysteresis) phenomenon for low strengths of nonlinearity parameters. Such behaviors can be analyzed using various approximation methods [2–5]. Very recently, using the method of multiple scale, Rajasekar et al. [4] obtain a set of autonomous equations for the amplitudes and phases of a two coupled Duffing–van der Pol oscillators with a nonlinear coupling. Also, the stability boundaries of fixed points of the approximated equations are obtained using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion and the stability boundaries are drawn in various parameters space. The influence of the nonlinear coupling strength on the response dynamics have been studied.

On the other hand, Chaos is an interesting phenomenon of nonlinear systems. A deterministic chaotic system has some remarkable characteristics, such as system evolution sensitive to the change of in initial condition, broad spectrum of Fourier transform, and fractal properties of the motion in phase space [6]. Due to its powerful applications in various field of sciences including communications, controlling these complex chaotic dynamics for engineering applications has emerged as a new and attractive field and has developed many profound theories and methodologies to date [9–29]. The chaos suppression problem is generally considered as the stabilization of the chaotic system in a periodic orbit or equilibrium point. In this way the phenomena of chaos control, which, along with other approaches have been widely addressed in the literature as well as his broad range of potential applications that goes from life sciences and earth science to the problems facing physicists, engineers and applied mathematicians. Although, the robust tracking control problem for nonlinear chaotic systems, due to its difficulty and its practical interest, is one of the most challenging of the control theory, it has never been addressed for the electrostatic transducers system. In this paper, we consider a nonlinear electrostatic transducers model described by the following set of two nonlinearly coupled differential equations: (

€q þ k0q q_ þ x2q q þ c0q q3  a0q x  b0q xq ¼ 0 €x þ k0x x_ þ x2x x þ c0x x3  a0x q  b0x q2 ¼ F cos xt

ð1Þ

where the dot denotes time derivative, q and x are the coordinates of both oscillators, k0q and k0x are the viscous damping coefficients, xq and xx are the natural frequencies and, c0q and c0x the nonlinear coefficients. a0q , b0q , a0x and b0x characterized the coupling between the oscillators. The model (1) can be found in a electrostatic microphone and loudspeaker which consist of a mechanical part (described here by x) connected capacitively to an R–L–C circuit whose capacitance can be controlled by acoustic waves (for instance harmonic acoustic waves). The interest on such devices is justified by the fact that with the revival of the electret old idea, electrostatic microphones are widely used for various types of technological applications such as monoscope tubes for TV set signals, cassette recorders devices and evidently telephone devices [3,9,10]. Two points are considered: (i) analyze the oscillatory states in our model and study through numerical simulation some bifurcation structures and transition to chaos; and (ii) carry out the problem of how to design a feedback controller to drive the chaotic trajectories of system (1) to an inherent periodic orbit of the system. Previously, [3,9] investigated the dynamic and the problem of chaotic behaviour of the model without the first Duffing term c0q q3 . After, we completed the study by designing an estimated state feedback controller to drive a chaotic trajectory to an inherent periodic orbit of the system [13]. Recently, we go further with the work to understand how coupling typical nonlinear systems respond to two external periodic forces and exhibits different dynamical resonance and dynamical transition involving chaos. Throughout this note, we extend the work to nonlinearly coupled Duffing equation. The cubic term c0q q3 in the first equation of (1) is a new term introduced to described the nonlinearity of Duffing type in the condenser. This would result from an eventual high charge of the capacitor. The content of the paper is arranged as follows: in Section 2, an analysis is presented for perturbated solutions and the hysteresis phenomena. In Section 3, we report a numerical study, the periodic and chaotic behaviors of the coupled model will be presented and the rote the system follow to the chaotic state. Section 4 is devoted to the control of chaos using an estimated state feedback controller based on sliding mode control. Simulation results are presented to validate the proposed control scheme. We end our investigation in Section 5 with a brief conclusion.

2. Perturbated solutions An approximate analytical solution of Eq. (1) is obtained by assuming that the coefficients k0i , c0i , a0i , b0i , i ¼ q, x and F are small. This smallness can be characterized using a single coefficient e (where e is a small parameter, i.e., e  1) as a scaling factor. Thus we set k0i ¼ eki , c0i ¼ ci , a0i ¼ eai , b0i ¼ ebi and F ¼ eF0 . In general we consider qðtÞ and xðtÞ in the form qðtÞ ¼ q0 ðT0 ; T1 Þ þ q1 ðT0 ; T1 Þ þ    xðtÞ ¼ x0 ðT0 ; T1 Þ þ x1 ðT0 ; T1 Þ þ

where T0 ¼ t is a fast scale and T1 ¼ et is a slow scale, characterizing the modulation in the amplitude and phase caused by the nonlinearity, damping and resonances. Substituting Eq. (2) into Eq. (1) and equating coefficients of the same power of e, we obtain

where Ôcc’ stands for the complex conjugate term and i2 ¼ 1. AðT1 Þ and BðT1 Þ are arbitrary complex functions of T1 at this level of approximation. It is determined by imposing solvability conditions at next levels of approximation. Substituting Eq. (5) into Eq.

Depending on the order of the nonlinearity in the system, various secular terms can be produce with the commensurate relationships between frequencies. These commensurable relationships of frequencies can cause the corresponding mode to be strongly (respectively, weakly) coupled and internal (respectively, external) resonance is said to exist. Accordingly, in our dynamical system, three situations can be analyzed. In Sections 2.1 and 2.2 we consider the case that the electric oscillator enters in resonance with the external excitation and we study in this condition the internal nonresonant and resonant cases. 2.1. External resonance Here we analyze the case where xx is different of xq and 2xq . To express quantitatively the nearness of x to xx , we introduce the detuning parameter r defined by x ¼ xx þ er. In this case, none of the nonlinear coupling terms produces a secular term. The condition for the elimination of the secular term in Eq. (6) become  ikq xq A  2ixq A0  3cq A2 A ¼ 0 F0  ikx xx B  2ixx B0  3cx B2 B þ eirT1 ¼ 0 2

A first-order approximation can be obtained by expressing A and B in real form using the polar representation 1 A ¼ aðT1 Þeiu1 ðT1 Þ 2 1 B ¼ bðT1 Þeiu2 ðT1 Þ 2

ð8Þ

where aðT1 Þ, bðT1 Þ, u1 ðT1 Þ and u2 ðT1 Þ are the amplitudes and phases of the fundamental frequency. Substituting Eq. (8) into Eq. (7), we thus obtain after separating real and imaginary parts the following set of coupled first-order differential equations for the amplitude and phase 3 2 c a a  xq au01 ¼ 0 8 q kq xq a þ xq a0 ¼ 0 2

ð10Þ

where h ¼ rT1  u2 . In its general form, Eqs. (9) and (10) show that in the nonresonant case, both oscillators are uncoupled. Thus when there is no internal resonance, the first approximation is not influenced by the nonlinear coupling terms. The time evolution of the first oscillator corresponds to the amplitude of the autonomous Duffing oscillator and the second for the forced Duffing oscillator. The steady-state response must have a0 ¼ b0 ¼ 0 and h0 ¼ 0. Thus a ¼ 0 and u02 ¼ r. Eliminating h from Eq. (10), we obtain the frequency–response equation for amplitude of the second oscillator 9 2 6 c b  ð3cx xx rÞb4 þ x2x ð4r2 þ k2x Þb2  F02 ¼ 0 16 x

ð11Þ

Solving this equation using Newton–Raphson algorithm, the response curves in term of the detuning parameter r and the external force F0 present the classical multivalued amplitudes and hence to a jump phenomenon as observe earlier [2,3]. 2.2. The internal resonance When there is an internal resonance, the nonlinear coupling terms produce secular terms and the solutions can differ drastically from those of no internal resonance. 2.2.1. First case of internal resonance To analyze the case of internal resonance, we introduce a new detuning parameter r1 according to xx ¼ 2xq  er1 ;

Again, substituting Eq. (8) into Eq.

For thus, we analyze the steady-state solution (i.e., u02 ¼ r and u01 ¼ 12 ðr  r1 Þ), Eqs. (14) and (15) become   1 3 2 1 a xq ðr  r1 Þ  cq a þ bq b cos d0 ¼ 0 2 8 4   1 1 a  kq xq þ bq b sin d0 ¼ 0 2 4

We find two possibilities. In the first, we suppose a ¼ 0 (see Eq. (16)), then Eq. (17) leads to the resonant equation (11) and it is essentially the solution of the linear problem. In the second, we suppose a 6¼ 0, eliminating d0 from Eq.

Substituting Eq. (8) into Eq. (20), after some algebraic manipulations, we obtain the following new set of coupled and nonlinear first-order differential equation: 3 1 xq au01  cq a3 þ aq b cos d1 ¼ 0 8 2 1 1 0  kq xq a  xq a þ aq b sin d1 ¼ 0 2 2

with d1 ¼ r0 T1 þ 2u1  u2 and d ¼ rT1  u2 . For the steady-state solution (i.e., and u02 and u01 ¼ 12 ðr  r0 ÞÞ, Eqs. (21) and (22) lead to the following amplitude equations:

These equations involve the coupling parameters ai thus the steady-state motions are coupled. In Fig. 1(a), a typical frequency–response graph is shown. It is notice that the curve presents two resonances points and the hysteresis phenomenon does not appear. As the amplitude of the external force increases the hysteresis phenomenon appears and for some values of r it is possible to have up seven values of the amplitude as presented in Fig. 1(b). For a given value of r, one can evaluate the effect of the term cq on the coupling response curve. We see from Fig. 2(a) and (b) that for r ¼ 0, the curve is a single branch with multivalue of amplitude for low values of cq . This can be seen in the bifurcation diagrams since small values of cq bring chaotic state in the system. For r 6¼ 0 this curve degenerates into tree branches. This behavior of the coupling-response curve shows that when the oscillators move

away from the exact external resonance point ðr ¼ 0Þ, their amplitude may be multivalued depending on the new cubic term of the system.

3. Chaotic behavior of the model In this section, we process numerically. The aim of the numerical study is to find the sensibility and some set of parameters which can lead to chaotic behavior. Among methods use for the identification of the type of motion we carried our study using the bifurcation diagrams. They provide a nice summary for the transition between different types of motion that can occur as one parameter of the system is varied. Figs. 3–6 present a set of sample bifurcation diagrams of our model with respect to F , x, and c0q . Other parameters are fixed as: k0q ¼ 0:1, a0q ¼ 0:4, c0q ¼ 0:1, b0q ¼ 0:4, xq ¼ 0:4, k0x ¼ 0:3, c0x ¼ 0:6, xx ¼ 0:1 and x ¼ 1. The plots represent the amplitude x of the second oscillator in a Poincare cross-section when one parameter is varied the other being fixed. In the bifurcation diagram of Fig. 3 where F is varied from 0 to 1.5, a discontinuous ‘‘jump’’ from a stable period-1 solution to a band of chaotic motion is evident for approximate F  0:55. For 0:55 < F < 0:75, we observe that the

dynamic is almost chaotic with a very short window of period-1 orbit through intermittency. For F > 0:75, one can see that there exists reversed period-doubling bifurcations that bring back the dynamic to a period-1 state (see Fig. 4). As the value of F  0:85, is reaches, the system suddenly becomes chaotic and the inverse period doubling cascade starts at F  1:08 (Fig. 5) leading now to a period-1 orbit. Quasiperiodicity, mode-locking and inverse period doubling cascade are exemplified in Fig. 5 when x is varied from 0 to 0.6. As concerned the bifurcation diagrams of the nonlinearly coupled Duffing oscillator with respect to the new term c0q in the interval 0 < c0q < 0:2, the results obtained, shown in Fig. 6 present an overall behavior similar to that described in the preceding paragraph and depicted in Fig. 3. Here, the inverse period doubling cascade closely starting at c0q  0:102. A typical Poincare map corresponding to chaotic motion is presented in Fig. 7.

4. Chaos control Several kinds of interesting nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the system have been studied in previous sections. They have shown that the forced system exhibited both regular and chaotic motion. Usually, chaos is unwanted or undesirable.

In order to improve the performance of a dynamic system or avoid the chaotic phenomena, we need to control chaotic system to a regular target trajectory embedded in the chaotic attractor which is beneficial for working with a particular condition [11,13,14,17,18]. However, the practical chaotic systems may contain many types of uncertainties [12]. These uncertainties may cause chaotic perturbations to originally regular behavior, or induce additional chaos in originally chaotic but known behavior, generating unknown chaotic motion (Fig. 8). In this case, it would be desirable to have a feedback scheme to achieve control in spite of the system’s uncertainties. The aim of this section is to study the tracking control problem of the electrostatic transducer system with uncertainties based on the sliding mode design. A sliding mode control is a nonlinear control strategy requiring: (i) a switching manifold that prescribes the desired dynamics and (ii) a control law such that the system trajectory first reaches the manifold and then stays on it forever [17]. The proposed scheme comprises a sliding controller and an uncertainty estimator. The design algorithm for the control via estimation of the lumping uncertainties is the following: first, the uncertain terms are lumped in a nonlinear function in such a way that the lumping nonlinear function is interpreted as a variable state into an extended system. Then, a state estimator is designed to carry out the dynamic reconstruction of the extended variable state, and consequently, an estimated value of the uncertainties is obtained. Finally, a sliding controller is provided with the uncertainty estimate value. In this way, the control law counteracts the uncertain terms and the desired dynamics can be induced.

Without loss of the generality, we can assume that the system’s output is y ¼ x1 .

Now, let us assume the following: Assumption 1. Only x1 is available for feedback by online measurements. Assumption 2. The nonlinear terms fðz; xd Þ and mðz1 ; x1d Þ are uncertain. Assumption 3. mðz1 ; x1d Þ is bounded. However, an estimate ^mðz1 ; x1d Þ of mðz; xd Þ satisfying signð^mðz1 ; x1d ÞÞ ¼ signðmðz1 ; x1d ÞÞ: Some comments concerning the above assumptions should be noted: Assumption 1 is realistic because in most cases only one state is available for feedback. Assumption 2 is a practical situation because it is practically impossible to avoid tolerances in the real-world physical parameters. For example, the tolerance of the various electric elements in the nonlinear electrostatic transducer system will certainly lead to small but finite difference in the physical parameters and thus the operations of the device. Concerning Assumption 3, the knowledge of mðz1 ; x1d Þ is a restriction because in some cases the variable z1 change with the parameters variations. Now, let us define /ðz; xd Þ ¼ mðz; xd Þ  ^mðz1 ; x1d Þ; g¼

Thus, the system (32) can be rewritten as follows: 8 < z_ i ¼ ziþ1 ; i ¼ 1; . . . ; 4 z_ ¼ g þ ^mðz1 ; x1d Þ_v : 5 g_ ¼ Nðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; €v; tÞ

þ /ðz; xd Þ€v with ok z5 ¼ oz5 =ozk and ok /ðz; xd Þ ¼ o/ðz; xd Þ, k ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4. The following must be pointed out. 1. System (34) is dynamically externally equivalent to system (32). This is for all differentiable input u 2 R. In fact, the manifold Wðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; tÞ ¼ g  Hðz; xd ; vÞ is invariant under the trajectories of system (34). It suffices to prove that dWðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; tÞ=dt ¼ 0 along the trajectories of system (34). Then from the equality Wðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; tÞ ¼ 0 and the condition dWðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; tÞ=dt ¼ 0, one can take the first integral of the system (34) to get g ¼ Hðz; xd ; vÞ. When the first integral is backsubstituted in system (34), we obtain the solution of system (32). This implies that the solution zðtÞ 2 R4 of system (32) is the solution of the upper subsystem (34), hence, p:ðz; z5 ; gÞ ¼ z. Thus, the augmented state g provides the dynamics of the uncertain function Hðz; xd ; vÞ and, consequently, of the uncertain terms fðz; xd Þ and mðz1 ; x1d Þ. 2. System (34) is in cascade form. This means that when we taken actions to achieve lim z ! 0, the part Nðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; €v; tÞ ! Nð0; 0; g; xd ; v; v_ ; €v; tÞ ! 0 asymptotically for the so-called cascade character [21]. 4.2. Sliding mode controller design According to sliding mode control design, the sliding surface is defined as Z t X 5 S ¼ z5  z5 ð0Þ þ hð6jÞ kj zj ¼ 0 0

ð35Þ

j¼1

where z5 ð0Þ is the initial state of z5 . The sliding surface used in this paper is one dimension higher than the traditional sliding surface which guarantees that it passes through the initial states of the system being controlled. Equation (35) can also be formulated as

Therefore the sliding mode dynamics (the desired dynamics) can be described as 8 ; i ¼ 1; . . . ; 4 < z_ i ¼ ziþ1P z_ 5 ¼  5j¼1 hð6jÞ kj zj : g_ ¼ Nðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; €v; tÞ Or in a matrix equation form as  z_ ¼ hK1 h MKh z g_ ¼ Nðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; €v; tÞ where z ¼ ðz1 ; z2 ; z3 ; z4 ; z5 ÞT , 2 0 1 0 0 6 0 0 1 0 6 6 0 0 0 1 6 4 0 0 0 0 k1 k2 k3 k4

with K1 h the inverse matrix of Kh . The design of kj , j ¼ 1; . . . ; 5 can be determined by choosing the eigenvalues of MðkÞ such that the corresponding characteristic polynomial equation Pk ðsÞ ¼ s5 þ k5 s4 þ k4 s3 þ k3 s2 þ k2 s þ k1 is Hurwitz. The reaching law can be chosen as S_ ¼ bS  h sgnðSÞ

where 0 6 b < 1, sgnð:Þ denotes the signum function and h > 0 can be considered as the switching gain to be determined such that the sliding condition is satisfied and sliding mode motion will occur. Combine Eqs. (35) and (39), we obtain S_ ¼ bS  h sgnðSÞ ¼ g þ ^mðz1 ; x1d Þ_v þ

and if the initial condition vð0Þ ¼ 0, then the differential equation of control signal v can be obtained as " # 5 X 1 bS  h sgnðSÞ  g  hð6jÞ kj zj v_ ¼ ^mðz1 ; x1d Þ j¼1 Therefore, the implemented control input can be described as !# Z t" 5 X 1 ð6jÞ bS  h sgnðSÞ  g  h kj zj dt vðtÞ ¼ ^mðz1 ; x1d Þ 0 j¼1

with vð0Þ ¼ 0. Substituting the control law (41) into the extended system (34), the dynamics of closed-loop system can be described as 8 4 < z_ i ¼ ziþ1 ; i ¼ 1; . . . ; P z_ 5 ¼ bS  h sgnðSÞ  5j¼1 h6j kj zj ð43Þ : g_ ¼ Nðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; €v; tÞ Here the large h is important for the realization of control, which is associated with the system information of the chaotic system. We can qualitatively analyze this question with Lyapunov stability theory as follows. Let the Lyapunov function of the system be 1 V ¼ S2 2

From Eq. (35), we known that S ¼ hðzÞ. From the boundness of chaotic attractor, we known that S is bounded. So large enough h will lead to V_ 6 0. Here we get the same conclusion as that in [19]. In many situations, condition V_ 6 0 can be satisfied by choosing a large enough switching gain h. The convergence of gðtÞ to zero follows from the fact that the closed-loop system (43) is in cascade form. If system uncertainties can be estimated more accurately, then the resulting control input will be more accurate. Nevertheless, the terms z5 and g are not available for feedback from on-line measurements (Assumption 2). Then the sliding feedback (42) is not physically realizable. An alternative is to use estimates of z5 , g and zi , i ¼ 1; . . . ; 4 in such a way that the main characteristics of the feedback can be retained. So we will use an observer to estimate z5 , g and zi , i ¼ 1; . . . ; 4. To this end, the following uncertainty estimator is proposed 8 < ^z_ i ¼ ^ziþ1  hi ci ð^z1  z1 Þ; i ¼ 1; . . . ; 4 ð46Þ ^z_ ¼ ^g þ ^mðz1 ; x1d Þ_v  h5 c5 ð^z1  z1 Þ : _5 g^ ¼ h6 c6 ð^z1  z1 Þ where cj , j ¼ 1; . . . ; 6 are chosen such that the polynomial s6 þ c1 s5 þ c2 s4 þ c3 s3 þ c4 s2 þ c5 s þ c6 ¼ 0 is Hurwitz. Define the estimating error as: ~zi ¼ hð6iÞ ð^z1  z1 Þ, i ¼ 1; . . . ; 5 and ~z6 ¼ ^ g  g. Then, we get the following system ~z_ ¼ hNðcÞ~z þ Xðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; €v; tÞ

where ~z ¼ ð~z1 ; ~z2 ; ~z3 ; ~z4 ; ~z5 ; ~z6 Þ , Xðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; tÞ ¼ ½0; . . . ; 0; Nðz; z5 ; g; xd ; v; v_ ; €v; tÞ  and N ðcÞ is as follows 2

Since the trajectories qðtÞ and xðtÞ belong to some chaotic attractor, then Hðz; xd ; vÞ in Eq. (34) is a bounded function. Hence Nðz; z5 ; xd ; g; v; v_ ; €v; tÞ also is bounded function. Consequently, for a large value of the switching surface gain h, ~z ! 0 which implies that ^zj ! zj , j ¼ 1; . . . ; 4, ^z5 ! z5 and ^ g ! g. Then Eqs. (38) and (45) become S ¼ ^z5  ^z5 ð0Þ þ

with vð0Þ ¼ 0. Note that since Hðz; xd ; vÞ is uncertain, the function Nðz; z5 ; xd ; g; v; v_ ; €v; tÞ correspondingly is unknown. Thus, such a term has been neglected in the construction of the observer (46). Note also that the sliding control law (49) only uses estimated values of the uncertain term Hðz; xd ; vÞ (by means ^z5 and g) and ^z. Thus, the robust asymptotic stability is given by the dynamic compensator (46) and the sliding control law (49). Switching high-gain can induce undesirable dynamics effects such as peaking phenomenon [24]. To diminish these effects, the control law can be modified by means of (Z " !# ) 5 t X 1 ðnjþ1Þ u ¼ Sat bS  h sgnðSÞ  ^g  ð50Þ h Kj^zj dt ^mð^z; x1d Þ 0 j¼1 where Sat{.}: R5 !

4.3. Numerical results In order to validate the performance of the proposed control law, we have performed simulations. The parameters of uncontrolled electrostatic transducer system are k0q ¼ 0:1, c0q ¼ 0:04, a0q ¼ 0:4, b0q ¼ 0:4, xq ¼ 0:4, k0x ¼ 0:3, c0x ¼ 0:6, xx ¼ 0:1, F ¼ 1:07 and x ¼ 1. The chaotic nature of the electrostatic transducer system is observed for the chosen initial conditions ðx1 ð0Þ; x2 ð0Þ; x3 ð0Þ; x4 ð0ÞÞ ¼ ð0; 0; 0; 0Þ in Fig. 6. The initial conditions for the system (29) is ½e1 ð0Þ; e2 ð0Þ; e3 ð0Þ; e4 ð0Þ ¼ ½0:1; 0:2; 0 and for the observer (46), ½^z1 ð0Þ; ^z2 ð0Þ; ^z3 ð0Þ; ^z4 ð0Þ; ^z5 ð0Þ; ^ gð0Þ ¼ ½0:1; 0; 0; 7:2. Let b ¼ 0:01 and h ¼ 20 and the eigenvalues corresponding to the sliding surface are )1 of which the coefficients of Hurwitz polynomial are ½k1 ; k2 ; k3 ; k4 ; k5  ¼ ½1; 5; 10; 10; 5; 1. The estimation constants was chosen as ½c1 ; c2 ; c3 ; c4 ; c5 ; c6  ¼ ½6; 15; 20; 15; 6; 1 so that the all of the roots of the polynomial s6 þ c1 s5 þ c2 s4 þ c3 s3 þ c4 s2 þ c5 s þ c6 ¼ 0 are located at )1. We have found appropriate to choose e0 ¼ 0:5. Fig. 9 shows the simulation results by applying the sliding controller (49) to the error system (29). Figs. 9(a), (b), (c) and (d) show the time evolutions of the states e1 ðtÞ, e2 ðtÞ, e3 ðtÞ and e4 ðtÞ, respectively. After a short transient, the positions tracking errors e1 ðtÞ and e3 ðtÞ and the velocities tracking errors e2 ðtÞ and e4 ðtÞ converge to zero which implies a fairly good tracking performance of the desired reference trajectory ðx1d ðtÞ; x2d ðtÞ; x3d ðtÞ; x4d ðtÞÞ in spite of model uncertainties and the control objective is attained. Fig. 10 presented the performance of the system for h ¼ 20. The corresponding control input is continuous, as shown in Fig. 10(a). The resulting control does not have an abrupt change and chattering phenomenon. Note that the control signal is equal to zero when the control is achieved. The sliding surface dynamics is depicted in Fig. 10(b).

To illustrate the fact that an arbitrary convergence rate of the system can be prescribed, Fig. 11 presents the position of the tracking error e1 ðtÞ for three different values of the switching gain h. As expected, e1 ðtÞ converges to zero and the larger the value of h, the faster the convergence.

5. Concluding remarks In this paper, we have studied the dynamics of a nonlinear electrostatic transducer described by two coupled nonlinearly Duffing oscillators. Using the method of multiple scale, the well known hysteresis phenomena and the degeneressance of the curve when move away from the exact resonance point are observe. A nonlinear term has been added to the model as a chaos generating component. Bifurcation diagrams have been showing, sudden transitions to chaos and backward or inverse period doubling bifurcation. The control of the device described by our model equations in their chaotic states has been carried out using the sliding mode control. The activation of the sliding mode control governed by the desired state error z5 and its derivative

z_ 5 . A high gain type controller is employed to steer the states q and x into a desired periodic reference signal, then a sliding mode controller is activated to regulate the system to the desired state. By means of the design of sliding mode dynamics characteristics, the controlled system performance can arbitrarily be determined by assigning the switching gain of the sliding mode dynamics. The results show that the proposed controller can stabilize chaotic motion of the electrostatic transducer system even the system has parameter mismatching and perturbing external forces. The control input in this study is continuous and has no abrupt increase in the desired state change. It provides a method that can achieve desired specification with less control energy by comparing against the results of other researches. In later work, it is hoped that the method will be useful for developing a practical synchronized chaotic electrostatic transducer models.
