Laboratory Investigation of the Dynamics of the Inelastic Bouncing Ball
نویسنده
چکیده
An inelastic bouncing ball driven by an oscillating plate is modelled in MatLab and then experimentally investigated in the laboratory. Experimental results qualitatively match the computational model, demonstrating bifurcation and chaos. Discrepancies of the physical system are clearly traced, including friction, elasticity, and feedback, but only friction is accounted for in the model. Further work that accounts for the discrepancies is feasible and recommended.

Completely Inelastic Bouncing Ball on a Forced Plate
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a completely inelastic ball on a vertically vibrated plate. We construct a computational model using various forcing waveforms for the plate and generate associated bifurcation diagrams. The forcing functions used are a superposition of two sine waves with an integer ratio of frequencies. We then observe experimentally some of the predictions made b...
متن کاملThe Completely Inelastic Bouncing Ball
The motion of the inelastic bouncing ball is examined. The time of flight is modelled through numerical simulation using MATLAB. Then the time of flight is experimentally verified using a metal block constrained to move in one direction mounted to a vibration table. Time of flight is measured using a continuity sensor. Bifurcation diagrams are created for a range of accelerations and compared t...
متن کاملTwo Methods for Determining Impact Time in the Bouncing Ball System
Many physical systems can be modelled relatively simply and accurately by a ball bouncing off a surface; hence, the dynamics of this system have been studied by mathematicians and physicists for several decades. If the surface that the ball is rebounding from is fixed, the problem is simple, and can be analyzed as a damped harmonic oscillator. However, if the surface itself is vibrating, very c...
متن کاملThe bounce of a ball
In this paper, the dynamics of a bouncing ball is described for several common ball types having different bounce characteristics. Results are presented for a tennis ball, a baseball, a golf ball, a superball, a steel ball bearing, a plasticene ball, and a silly putty ball. The plasticene ball was studied as an extreme case of a ball with a low coefficient of restitution ~in fact zero, since th...
متن کاملDynamics and Control of Bouncing Ball
This paper investigates the control of a bouncing ball using Model Predictive Control. Bouncing ball is a benchmark problem for various rhythmic tasks such as juggling, walking, hopping and running. Humans develop intentions which may be perceived as our reference trajectory and tries to track it. The human brain optimizes the control effort needed to track its reference; this forms the central...
