Abstract
This article considers sliding mode control of a class of parabolic linear uncertain distributed parameter systems with time-varying delays. The sliding mode controller design does not contain time delay terms and drives the state trajectory of the system to the sliding manifold in finite time. A sufficient condition of asymptotic stability for the sliding motion is derived. A simulation example is presented to illustrate effectiveness of the proposed method.
