Dynamical analysis of an inverted pendulum with positive position feedback controller approximate uniform solution

Abstract

The inverted pendulum is controlled in this article by using the nonlinear control theory. From classical analytical mechanics, its substructure equation of motion is derived. Because of the inclusion of the restoring forces, the Taylor expansion is employed to facilitate the analysis. An estimated satisfactory periodic solution is obtained with the aid of the modified Homotopy perturbation method. A numerical technique based on the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is employed to justify the previous solution. On the other hand, a positive position feedback control is developed to dampen the vibrations of an IP system subjected to multi-excitation forces. The multiple time scale perturbation technique of the second order is introduced as a mathematical method to solve a two-degree-of-freedom system that simulates the IP with the PPF at primary and 1:1 internal resonance. The stability of these solutions is checked with the aid of the Routh–Hurwitz criterion. A set of graphs, based on the frequency response equations resulting from the MSPT method, is incorporated. Additionally, a numerical simulation is set up with RK-4 to confirm the overall controlled performance of the studied model. The quality of the solution is confirmed by the match between the approximate solution and the numerical simulation. Numerous other nonlinear systems can be controlled using the provided control method. Illustrations are offered that pertain to implications in design and pedagogy. The linearized stability of IP near the fixed points as well as the phase portraits is depicted for the autonomous and non-autonomous cases. Because of the static stability of the IP, it is found that its instability can be suppressed by the increase of both the generalized force as well as the torsional constant stiffness of the spring. Additionally, the presence of the magnetic field enhances the stability of IP.
