Abstract

This paper investigates the performance and behavior of a slewing motor-beam system with Coulomb friction using various control methods. A model of the system is described which includes a finite element representation for the beam, dynamic interaction between the motor and the beam, and a representation for Coulomb friction. The model is used in the study of closed-loop transient response of the slewing system. The model reasonably predicts the observed slewing behavior. It simulates steady state error in the control of slewing angle and can represent the case of shaft lock-up which leaves the beam oscillating freely. Feedback controller laws developed did not require the use of beam information, yet provided desirable system response.
