Studying Discretisation Behaviours in Variable Structure Control Systems

变结构控制是一种有助于构建非常简单和有效的开关控制设备以处理环境不确定性的技术，其广泛用于例如工业控制系统/过程中。这项研究的结果将有助于了解控制性能恶化，由于离散化和制定有效的措施，保护这些控制设备可能的不良行为。这项研究将使澳大利亚处于这项新技术发展的前沿，从而提高控制设备的可靠性，提高生产率，节省工业成本，从而提高生活质量。

Variable structure control is a technology that helps build very simple and effective switching control devices for dealing with environmental uncertainties, which are widely used, for example, in industrial control systems/processes. The outcomes from this research will help the understanding of control performance deterioration due to discretisation and developing effective measures for protection from possible ill behaviours of these control devices. This research will place Australia in the forefront of the development of this new technology, resulting in enhanced reliability of control devices, improved productivity and cost saving for industries, and consequent improvement in quality of life.
