I believe I have found some Simulink models of the ball and beam control system and I've got them working in matlab. I'm working on the kinematics diagram of the ball and spinning beam system now but wouldn't it just be the same as the regular ball and beam system just with centripetal force...

How should I go about modelling a ball and spinning beam system in matlab? It's similar to the ball and beam control system except the beam spins like a propeller so the control system has to account for the centripetal force. Any reference papers?
