This article presents a disturbance observer (DO)-based event-triggered integral sliding mode tracking control (ISMTC) for continuous-time Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model (TSFM) subject to external disturbances. Merging the event-triggered control (ETC) with integral sliding mode control (ISMC) approach is led to reach the better accommodate the features of ISMC. To do this, two forms of fuzzy integral sliding surfaces (FISSs) are proposed. The first is the periodic-time-based FISS that is presented to provide the robustness of the tracking performance from the initial moment. The second is the event-triggered-based FISS which is proposed to obtain the fuzzy event-triggered ISMTC law. To more decrease the chattering effects and compensate the tracking performance against the disturbances, a fuzzy disturbance observer (FDO) is proposed to estimate the mismatched disturbances. Compared with the existing works, a more practical controller is proposed based on the asynchronous premise variables. Utilizing the common quadratic Lyapunov function, appropriate conditions are derived to verify that the tracking error is robust from the initial moment. Furthermore, by adopting a decaying triggering threshold, it is guaranteed that the system is Zeno-free during the process. To verify the effectiveness of the suggested event-triggered ISMTC, a practical system including continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is simulated and the results are compared. •Providing two fuzzy sliding surfaces to decrease the control law updates and performance enhancement.•A fuzzy disturbance observer is proposed to estimate the mismatched disturbances to reduce the chattering effects.•Considering the asynchronous premise variables of control law and the TS fuzzy system.•Ensuring the Zeno-free of the control system during the implementation process.
