control systems

2. Consider a simple wheelchair with a
suspension system (bumper) composed of
a spring and a dashpot as illustrated in the
figure. It is desired that as the patient sits on to the chair resulting in the system settling at a new
equilibrium 5 cm lower than the initial position as quickly as
possible without overshooting this equilibrium (critically
Fe(t)
damped system).
• Fe(t) is the gravitational force exerted by the patient,
weight of the patient is 100 kg. (The acceleration due
x(t)
K.
to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²)
"m" is mass of the wheelchair, 50 kg
"B" is the damping coefficient of the dashpot, N/(m/s) 777
"K." is the stiffness (inverse of compliance) of the spring, N/m
"x" is the change in position of the seat with respect to ground.
