A frequent problem encountered in the stabilization of a dynamic system supported by a moving base is the disturbance rejection associated with moving components. Due to relative motion of adjacent components, the friction induces a destabilizing force from base motion to the stabilized object, which degrades the motion accuracy. Therefore, the compensation of frictional effects is necessary in order to obtain a highly precise stabilization performance, especially, when the stabilized system undergoes low-velocity or reversal motions at which the friction is the dominant destabilizing factor. Since the friction has quite complex and nonlinear behaviors, classical industrial control techniques such as PI and PID are insufficient to compensate frictional effects. In this thesis, the frictional behaviors observed by different researchers and notable friction compensation techniques proposed in literature are presented. The compensation methods are compared in terms of their capability to capture frictional effects and their simplicity to be applicable. Various types of friction identification experiments are performed on a test setup in order to observe frictional behaviors and to estimate friction model parameters. System performance is analyzed on an experimental level by applying two different compensations methods which are model-based and model-free. The improvement in stabilization performance is determined and compared for these compensations techniques.

Compensation of Friction Effects in Gyro-Stabilized Motion Platforms
Sincar, Eyyup; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Platin, Bülent Emre (2015-07-03)
A frequent problem encountered in the stabilization of gyro-stabilized motion platforms is the disturbance rejection associated with moving components. Due to relative motion of adjacent components, friction is induced by the destabilizing force from the base motion to the stabilized object, degrading its motion accuracy. Hence, a compensation of frictional effects is necessary in order to obtain a highly precise stabilization performance. In this paper, applications of both single-state disturbance observe...
Cogging Torque Disturbance Rejection for a Low-cost Gimbal Motor and a Controller Design with Practical Considerations
Ozdogan, Gokhan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2019-01-01)
In many robotic applications and inertially stabilized electro-optic gimbal systems, precise positioning and speed control are highly important concepts. Due to size and weight limitations, motor is required to be small but torque density is desired to be high. In high torque and cheap PMSM and BLDC motors, cogging torque and friction are usually the challenging disturbance sources. In this study, cogging torque and friction are identified using position sensors which already exist in gimbal systems, so the...
Mathematical modelling of decoration peak associated with dragging point defects situated selectively at the kink chain with special references to hydrogenated BCC and FCC metals
Ogurtani, TO (1997-01-01)
The set of nonlinear differential equations that describes the kink chain oscillating in an atmosphere of continuously distributed paraelastic or isotropic point defects and, in addition, decorated by a dragging point defect at the midpoint, is solved numerically after introducing a novel scaling and renormalization procedure. The internal friction coefficient obtained indicates the existence of two separate peaks, the decoration peak and the parent peak, which are directly related to the localized point de...
Nonlinear vibration isolation of inertial measurement unit
Dönmez, Ata; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
In engineering systems, dynamic parameters of systems such as acceleration, velocity, etc. are measured instantaneously to provide feedback for control systems. Since measurement equipment is sensitive to vibratory environment, performance of them is directly related to how effectively vibration is isolated. Linear vibration isolation systems have limitations due to static deflections and damping characteristic. Therefore, nonlinear elements can be used to improve isolation performance.In this thesis, first...
Flow frictional resistance in pneumatic conveying of solid particles through inclined lines
Carpinlioglu, MO; Ozbelge, TA; Oruc, V (2002-06-11)
The frictional behaviour of fully suspended dilute flow of granular solid particles in air through the transport lines of various angularities, alpha, with the horizontal plane in the range of 0degreesless than or equal to alpha 30degrees is presented in this paper. The friction factor determination is based on the measurements of local static pressure gradients. The experiments were mainly directed to determine the effects of transport line inclination, particle physical characteristics, the ratio of mass ...
