3.7(Motor drive) Consider a system consisting of a motor driving two masses that
are connected by a torsional spring, as shown in the diagram below.
where 1 and 2 are the angles of the two masses, i = di/dt are their velocities,
Ji represents moments of inertia, c is the damping coefficient, k represents the shaft
stiffness, kI is the torque constant for the motor, and Td is the disturbance torque
applied at the end of the shaft. Similar equations are obtained for a robot with
flexible arms and for the arms of DVD and optical disk drives.
Derive a state space model for the system by introducing the (normalized)
sptate variables x1=1, x2=2, x3= 1/0, and x4= 2/0, where 0=
k(J1+ J2)/(J1J2) is the undamped natural frequency of the system when the
control signal is zero.
