Dear community,
I am trying to build a model of a Furuta pendulum in Simulink/Simscape. Unfortunately, when I try to linearize my model with the integrated Model Linearizer, I get an unexpected result. The evaluation of the linearized system shows, that it is only poorly controllable, although a classic Furuta pendulum should be fully controllable according to literature. Therefore I assume, that there must be something wrong with my model or the way I linearized it but I can´t figure out what it is.... I´d highly appreciate any help on that, as this is bothing me for quite some time now. The model is attached to this post. Furthermore I have attached a screenshot of the linearized system.
My controllability matrix (ctrb(A,B)) then looks like this with rank = 1, which I believe can´t be right...
Controllability matrix =
1.0e+26 *
0 0.0000 0.0000 -0.0000 0.0000
0.0000 0.0000 -0.0000 0.0000 -0.0007
0 0.0000 0.0000 -0.0000 0.0000
0.0000 0.0000 -0.0000 0.0000 -0.0015
0.0000 -0.0000 0.0000 -0.0000 9.2972
Thank you and best regards, Joo
