Learn the fundamentals of system stability and control, from understanding equilibrium to achieving optimal performance. Dive into the world of dart flight dynamics and explore the role of stability in open-loop systems. Discover how advanced technology like radar guns and PID controllers can be used for stabilization.
Understanding Stability
πStability is measured by a system's tendency to return to zero after being disturbed.
πA stable system produces a bounded output for a bounded input, while an unstable system leads to unbounded output.
ποΈIllustration of stability using a ball in a valley as an example of a system at equilibrium.
Dart Flight Dynamics
π―Darts have a center of gravity skewed towards the front due to tip mass.
βοΈFlights on the back end of a dart skew the center of pressure towards the aft end.
π¬οΈWhen a dart is in equilibrium during flight, there are no perpendicular aerodynamic forces.
Optimizing Dart Stability
π―The equilibrium point of a dart is when the velocity vector is parallel to it.
πAligning the flights with air currents helps maintain stability in dart flight.
βοΈDart stability is achieved when the center of pressure is slightly aft of the center of gravity.
Advanced Stabilization Techniques
π οΈIncreasing stability may reduce response to disturbances and commands.
β οΈExcessive stability can hinder responsiveness to pilot commands.
πOpen-loop systems can be inherently stable but may limit responsiveness.
