Design and construction of a rectilinear mass-spring system model for educational control theory purpose
The main purpose of this thesis is to devise an educational control system model and to better comprehend a system response behavior and general conception of frequency response by implementing the concepts of Control Theory, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Algorithm Programming into the design and construction of ΓÇÿa rectilinear two mass-spring system model compromising two single-axis-mobility sub-systems acting as the main mass and/or mass-carrier system integrated with three springs acting as the spring system in which each spring is attached between the masses in series along a single particular axis. The mass-carrier system is integrated with a linear encoder system and is driven by an encoder-integrated DC-geared motor via an eccentric mechanism which converts its eccentric-link's rotary motion into a linear reciprocating motion of the ΓÇÿextensor'. The minimum specification of the system is required to be capable of simulating its relative' frequency response physically and/or by means of graphical plotting through a user interface depending on the parameters of the varying types of inputs subjected to it. An optional pre-programmed user interface of the system should at least be able to monitor the mass-carriers' oscillations including with its position and the motor's angular speed."
