Feedback Stabilization of Inverted Pendulum Models
… mechanical systems are the Simple Inverted Pendulum and the Inverted Pendulum on a Cart (PoC). These examples provide insight into both the feasibility and usability of Jacobian linearizations of nonlinear systems, as well as demonstrate the concepts of local stability, observability, …

DOUBLE PENDULUM CHAOTIC MODEL FOR PSEUDORANDOM NUMBER GENERATION
The double pendulum is a system of two connected masses, one tethered to a point in space and the other tethered to the first mass. The double pendulum exhibits chaotic motion under the influence of an external force such as the gravitational force. The chaotic motion is sensitive to the initial …

Characterization of an advanced LIGO quadruple pendulum system
… the dynamics of a prototype quadruple pendulum system. The figure of merit in evaluating and improving the performance of the quadruple pendulum is the motion of the mirror at frequencies between 1 and 100 Hz. To determine this, it is necessary to measure the frequency response …

Stabilizing the dual inverted pendulum : a practical approach
A dual inverted pendulum system, consisting of two individual pendulums of different lengths on a single cart, was fully designed and implemented as a demonstration of classical control theory. This document contains an analysis of the complete control system for both a single and dual inverted …

Parameter Estimation of Spacecraft Fuel Slosh Using Pendulum Analogs
… modeled using simple mechanical analogs such as pendulums or rigid rotors coupled to the spacecraft. Identifying model parameter values which adequately represent the sloshing dynamics is the most important step in obtaining a good NTC estimate. Currently, the identification of the model …

Fundamental Investigation into the Mechanics of Pendulum Rolling Process
… Thus, an investigation into the mechanics of the pendulum riling process which is intermittent in action has been undertaken to define the important parameters and their associated effects and to analyse theoretically the effects of these parameters on the resulting loads and torques. The analysis …

Construction and performance of an inverted pendulum thrust balance
… style design. An entirely new, inverted pendulum-type balance needed to be built. The new design employs a vertical arm with the DCF situated at the top and a counterweight placed at the bottom. The vertical arm rotates at the fulcrum through a flexible pivot attached to a base. A …

Modeling and dynamic analysis of a two-wheeled inverted-pendulum
… transportation systems. Two-wheeled inverted-pendulum machines, such as the Segway, have been proposed to address this need. However, the Segway places the operator on top of a naturally unstable platform that is stabilized by means of a control system. The control stability of the Segway can …

Dynamic stability of an elliptical pendulum with unilateral simple supports
… trucks often requires the use of mechanical pendulums to substitute the sloshing dynamics of the fluid. Cylindrical tanks have been effectively characterized by simple pendulums combined with some fixed masses. Just recently, a WVU team proposed the use of an elliptical pendulum to substitute …
