Motion Control of a Pendulum via Magnetic Interaction

The present study introduces a modified version of PD Control for the<br/>case of a magnetically controlled pendulum. The response was observed in both<br/>experimental and numerical simulations taking into consideration the non-linearity posed by the system. The modified PD controller was compared to the simple counterpart for further concrete...

Experimental and numerical study of a magnetic pendulum

An experiment has been performed on a magnetic pendulum, which interacts with an electromagnet. The free non-linear vibrations of the pendulum-magnet system are studied to identify and analyse the system’s characteristics. Due to the presence of the electromagnet, a modulation of the pendulum’s natural frequency is observed. A mathematical model...
