WWW - Control-Systems-Principles - Co.uk: Mark Readman, Marco Pérez and Peter Wellstead

The document introduces three video clips that demonstrate control systems principles using a ball and hoop apparatus. Video Clip 1 shows a zero transmission when the hoop and ball move together at a frequency that causes the ball position to be zero. Video Clip 2 shows resonance where small hoop movements cause large ball oscillations at the ball's natural frequency. Video Clip 3 demonstrates how feedback of the ball's slope angle can reduce oscillations when the hoop is given a step input.

Control Systems Principles

The Ball and Hoop Control Video Clips

Introduction To understand these video clips you need to have the white papers for the Ball and Hoop. These are downloadable from our web site at www.control-systems-principles.co.uk Video Clip 1 Ball and Hoop Zero Transmission FILE: Tzero.wmv This illustrates the idea of a zero transmission in a dynamical system. This happens when the input sine wave is at the frequency of the ball transfer function zero. The white papers explain the theory and give experimental results. This video clip shows what happens. When you play the clip you will see the hoop and ball move in synchronism when the hoop reference signal is a sine wave of 1.8 Hz. Thus the ball is stationary on the hoop and so the ball position signal (with respect to the hoop) is zero. Video Clip 2 Ball and Hoop Resonance FILE: Resonanc.wmv This illustrates the resonance in the ball transfer function. The ball oscillates with maximum amplitude when the hoop reference is a sine wave of 1.4 Hz. Notice that the input signal to the hoop only needs to be small in order to give a big output signal. Video Clip 3 Ball and Hoop with Slop Angle Feedback FILE: Slopcont.wmv The ball oscillates when the hoop moves, just like liquid in a tanker. When the hoop angle reference is a step change the ball oscillations show themselves as excessive overshoot and oscillations that last a long time. Feedback of the slop angle can be used to reduce the ball oscillation. This clip shows the response when slop angle feedback is added to the hoop angle controller. A FINAL WORD It is not possible for Control Systems Principles to answer questions about our video demonstrations unless we have a contract with your organization.
