    Very silly question regarding DC motor

    Hi, I am only want to raise a last thought. It is clear that the maximum current is going to be at the start up of the motor. In my application I am going to put the motor into a sequence of successive starts and stops, changes of direction ...etc. If I permit 3A to be the current limit...

    Very silly question regarding DC motor

    Thanks fellows, my major concern is that in my application the motor is not going to rotate at a set regime, but it is going to do a sequence of starts-stops-changes of directions, whatever it needs to balance the pendulum, or at the swing up.. the time it takes to get it up. So I am not...

    Very silly question regarding DC motor

    Thank you very much, Uart. Your help is very appreciated. Actually the control law is in terms of Voltage, and as far as I am reading more about Dc motors, I am leaning towards to limit the current up to 1A (and not to 3A), just for being preventive. The controller is going to take longer to...

    Very silly question regarding DC motor

    I am asking this because this DC motor is the actuator in an Inverted Pendulum control system. The Pendulum rotates freely over a pivot which is mounted over a cart, which moves along a rack as well. So the manner to control the movement of the cart is to supply a voltage signal to the motor...

    Very silly question regarding DC motor

    If in the DC motor specs doc says that it can handle + - 16 Volts maximum and 3A of peak current but the nominal voltage is 6 V and the continuous current is 1A... it means that it is safe if you feed it with 3A during the time of start up? Supposedly it is only meant to be at the start...

    Correct Dimensions to avoid numerical errors

    Thanks guys, LabVIEW has a lot of integration routines, I was thinking of trying a variable step size Runge-Kutta.

    Correct Dimensions to avoid numerical errors

    Sorry if I might not be as clear as I should be. I have this program in which I have to set the proper units of the dimensions of the problem in order to minimize the error that the simulation is going to produce. I read a paper in which it states that if the variables only vary from -1 to +1...

    Correct Dimensions to avoid numerical errors

    Homework Statement Hi, I have to do a simulation of two non linear dynamical equations which represent a electromechanical system. (An inverted pendulum attached to a cart moving over a rail). I am going to simulate the response via numerical methods programmed in LV. (I am trying firts with a...

    Inverted Pendulum on Cart: What is this term in the KE?

    That does not make sense to me. The KE of the pendulum is measured relative to the ground because ##\dot x + l \cos\theta\, \dot \theta## ... ##\dot x## express movement relative to the ground. (Plus the rotation relative to the cart).. Please shed some light..

    Mathematica Taylor Expansion in Mathematica (Multivariate)

    Anyone knows the proper way to assign the initial conditions for the first order derivatives to the Series function??

    Mathematica Taylor Expansion in Mathematica (Multivariate)

    Thank you both very much! It was the problem. (My misconception of what Mathematica undertood as variables... ) I put the expression in a explicit dependency of time form and It seems to work, although It was not linear at all ... ? I don't know why. I add this: Normal[Series[f1[x...

    Mathematica Taylor Expansion in Mathematica (Multivariate)

    Thank you very much! That is exactly in the same syntax form I wrote. I will copy/paste but I think it will be useless [SIZE="1"]f[x_, \[Theta]_, \[Alpha]_, vm_] := ((1/(rm*rmp^2))*(7*(js + h^2*(mc + mp)) - 3*h^2*mp*Cos[\[Alpha][t]]^2 - 3*h*mp*Sin[2*\[Alpha][t]]*x[t] + (7*(mc + mp) -...

    Mathematica Taylor Expansion in Mathematica (Multivariate)

    Thank you very much Jackmell. That is basically the idea, but my function f is much more complicated than that. That is why it would be a very tedious work to write it in Latex. I tried to export it with Mathematica function, but I have not got pretty satisfactory results. So, let´s focus...

    Mathematica Taylor Expansion in Mathematica (Multivariate)

    Hi! I'm trying to linearize a function f which is dependent of 4 variables, each one dependent of time. f[var1_,var2_,var3_,var4_]:= ... expression I use Series[f, {var1,var10 ,1},{var2,var20 ,1},...] syntax as I read on the documentation center. The problem is that the program...
