Influence of crucial parameters of the system of an inverted pendulum driven by fibres on its dynamic behaviour

Abstract

Fibres, cables and wires can play an important role in design of many machines. One of the most interesting applications is replacement of chosen rigid elements of a manipulator or a mechanism by fibres. The main advantage of this design is the achievement of a lower moving inertia, which leads to a higher mechanism speed, and lower production costs. An inverted pendulum attached and driven by two fibres serves as a typical testing system for the investigation of the fibres properties influence on the system dynamic response. The motion of the pendulum of this nonlinear system is investigated using the alaska simulation tool. The influence of some parameters of the system of inverted pendulum driven by fibres has been investigated. The evaluation of influence of these crucial parameters of the system of inverted pendulum driven by fibres on its dynamic behaviour is given in this article.
