The Modeling of the System

After modeling, using the free body diagram and the summation of forces, two equations are determined to describe the behavior of the system. In order to control the system, the two equations must be linearized. The linearization will be about the desired point of equilibrium. This point is \theta = \phi. Considering \phi a small deviation of the equilibrium point, the position of the pendulum may be represented by \theta = \pi + \phi The following approximations are used:

cos\theta \approx -1

sin\theta \approx -\phi

\dot{\theta^{2}} = \dot{\phi^{2}} = 0


Using the linearization, the following equations can be written:

\(I+ml^{2} \) \ddot{\phi} - mgl \phi = ml\ddot{x}

\(M+m \) \ddot{x} + b\dot{x} - ml \dot{\phi} = F

In order to write the transfer function it is necessary to apply the Laplace Transform to the equiations. The new equations are:

\(I+ml^{2} \) \phi (s)s^{2} - mgl \phi (s) = mlX(s)s^{2}

\(M+m \)X(s)s^{2} + bX(s)s^{2} - ml \phi (s)s^{2} = F(s)

Combining the two equations, the two transfer functions – position of the pendulum and position of the cart with respect to the force – are determined.

INVERTED PENDULUM

THE MODELING OF THE INVERTED PENDULUM

The Inverted Pendulum is a classical engineering example used in the study of control systems. It uses concepts of electrical, electronic and mechanical systems.

The system is made of a pole mounted on a cart and has its center of mass above the pivot point. For this reason, it can fall due to gravity. This makes the inverted pendulum a naturally unstable. The system can be stabilized by applying a horizontal force on the cart so that the pole goes to the vertical position.

The input to the system is a force, F, that moves the cart horizontally. The outputs are the angle of the pendulum, \Theta, and the cart horizontal position, x.

The figure shows the cart with the pendulum and other parts.

Where:
M - Mass of the cart
m - Mass of the pendulum
b - Friction coefficient of the cart
l - Distance to the center of mass of the pendulum
i - Moment of inertia of the pendulum
F - Force applied to the cart
\Phi - Angular position of the pendulum
x - position of the cart
