Simulink disc rotation
Simulink disc rotation
(OP)
Hi!
I want to simulate the reaction of a rotating disc with 2 spring in simulink. On my picture, you can see a disk rotating over a shaft. My disc has 2 spring attached to the shaft. They slow my rotation.

Here is how it work: You turn the disk (90 degrees) and release it, then it oscillate until it completely stops.
I would like to do a simulink with a response like my chart(graphic) on the picture. I need to enter my spring k constant and somewhere to enter friction of bearing (that friction factor is going to be the one to help me align reality and theory).
Thanks a lot for your help, I know this is a really simple simulink, but it's been a lot of time since my last use of simulink!!

RE: Simulink disc rotation
If you want to simulate it by solving the differential equation you can do so using ode45 in Matlab. You don't even need Simulink.
However, this can also be done in Simulink too.
The general differential equation for the system you describe is:
theta(t)_dd+k*theta(t)=0

Thanks for you answer, but i would like to solve it with Simulink's mechanical modeling blocks.
Can you help me do that ?
Thanks,
JP

Here it is:

Complete with a quick picture and the 2 .m files. Run ode_disc.m
If you need to solve it in simulink let me know.
Cheers,

Thanks very much!!!

It is a disc rotating around a shaft, and the deceleration is due to 2 "rubberband" fix from the shaft to the disc.
When I move the disc 90 degree and release it, my rubberband angle change.

Attached is a crude sketch I drew to show you how to model it in Simulink. (not using simscape as it's not useful in this case)

I need to simulate that disc movement on simulink.
RE: Simulink disc rotation
I hope you understand that what I gave you is a good start to modeling that. Start with the Simulink diagram I gave you (which is equivalent to the .m codes)
Then if you really want to use simscape/simmechanics for visualization I suggest you look into simmechanics link. This will allow you to import your CAD assembly (complete with motion constraints) into Simulink/simmechanics for simulation.
