Modeling and Discrete-Time Terminal Sliding Mode Control of a DEAP Actuator with Rate-Dependent Hysteresis Nonlinearity

Dielectric electro-active polymer (DEAP) materials, also called artificial muscle, are a kind of EAP smart materials with extraordinary strains up to 30% at a high driving voltage. However, the asymmetric rate-dependent hysteresis is a barrier for trajectory tracking control of DEAP actuators. To ov...
