Dynamic Stability of Ships via Unbalanced Mass Systems
Keywords:
Dynamic stability, antirollover systems, nonlinear systems, ship control, stabilizer, unbalanced mass systemsAbstract
In this paper, a new mechanism is introduced and a control law is designed for the dynamic stability of ships. This accomplished based on the action of the inertia forces induced from the movement of unbalanced mass systems, where these forces are coupled to produce a torque that is determined by a designed control system to force the disturbed ship to its stable equilibrium state. The basic idea of this mechanism can be employed in attitude control of space-vehicles, antirollover systems in automobiles and other different applications.
