Flexible Link
Challenge:
Design a control system to command the tip position
of a flexible link.
Description:
This system is similar in nature to the control
problems encountered in large light space structures where the weight
constraints result in flexible structures that must be controlled using
feedback techniques. A DC motor rotates a flexible link from one end
in the horizontal plane. The motor end of the link is instrumented
with a strain gage that can detect the deflection of the tip.
The objective is to design a feedback controller
such that the tip of the beam tracks a desired command while minimizing
link deflection and resonance in the system. The system is supplied
with a state feedback controller. You may design any other controller
you wish.
