2DoF dynamics of a carousel: simulation and animation

Antonio Sala, UPV

Difficulty: *** ,       Relevance: ,      Duration: 12:43

Summary:

This video animates the equations of motion of a merry-go-round (with a single hanging element) that were derived in the video [tiovELEN] using the Euler-Lagrange methodology.

To do this, the results of the aforementioned video that used the Symbolic Toolbox are transformed/compiled into “numeric” code (i.e., non-symbolic ordinary Matlab functions), using matlabFunction, and everything is prepared in the required format to execute ode45. Different plot and plot3 are used to draw each animation frame.
