The self-excited oscillation is the phenomenon which can be observed in the systems composed of nonlinear elements. The phenomenon is of fundamental importance in nonlinear systems and, as far as the design of a nonlinear system is concerned, it should be considered along with the stability analysis. In this paper, the oscillation of a system controlled by a static nonlinear fuzzy controller is theoretically addressed. First, the describing functionof a static fuzzy controller is derived and then, based on the derived describing function, self-excited oscillation of the system controlled by a static fuzzy controller is predicted. To obtain the describing function of the static fuzzy controller, a simple struture is assumed for the fuzzy controller. Finally, computer simulation is included to show an example where the describing function given in the paper is used to predict the self-excited oscillation of a fuzzy-control system.
