The University of Manchester Uses MapleSim in Robotics and Control Systems Courses

Dr. Joaquin Carrasco, Professor of Control Systems at the University’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, has taught various Control Systems courses to Master’s students in the Master of Science in Advanced Control and Systems Engineering program for the past six years. He has received overwhelmingly positive student feedback from using Maple T.A., the powerful online testing and assessment system from Maplesoft, in his Control Systems classes. He has also recently incorporated Maplesoft’s MapleSim and the MapleSim CAD Toolbox into his Robotics courses. With the MapleSim CAD Toolbox, students can see how their mechanical CAD models behave as part of a larger, multidomain system.

Stepwise precession of a double elastic-spherical pendulum

The physical effect known as stepwise precession is a surprising fact that takes place in the movement of an elastic pendulum. When this pendulum is initially set near the downward equilibrium vertical configuration, with the length of the spring stretched by the gravity force, there is a chance to move in such a way that the springing vibrational mode of movement and the rotational "swing" mode interchange periodically their respective energies, with a periodic change of the swing plane and stepwise precession. We simulate here numerically the same dynamical behaviour for the natural extension of a double elastic-spherical pendulum.
