Nonlinear passive control of a pendulum submitted to base excitations

Passive Control by Pendulum TMD

The theory behind small amplitude movement of a single pendulum is stated, followed by the construction of a simple example of a coupled pendulum with two degrees of freedom including the unidirectional movement of the structure and the pendulum angle in relation to vertical. These models and the finite elements software SAP 2000 are also applied to a single and to a multiple degree of freedom ...

Nonlinear Control of the Gyroscopic Pendulum

I watched it for some minutes, somewhat in fear, but more in wonder.. .. it seemed massy and heavy, tapering from the edge into a solid and broad structure above. It was appended to a weighty rod of brass, and the whole hissed as it swung through the air. Abstract In this paper we consider the nonlinear control of the Gyroscopic Pendulum, a novel mechanical system consisting of a physical pendu...

Nonlinear Control Strategies for the Furuta Pendulum

The problem of swinging the Furuta pendulum up is usually solved by a hybrid controller where the global problem is broken down into two steps. First, an injection of energy leads the pendulum near the upright position. Then the pendulum is stabilized at this position. In this paper, different control strategies for both problems are analyzed both by simulation and using an actual laboratory pe...
