Model Reduction and Controller Design of a Whole Roller Carding System

Abstract

A central idea involved in the design of a dynamic system is the modeling and manipulation of that system. By applying physical laws to a specific system, it is possible to develop a mathematical model that describes the system dynamics. Because a model must be a simplification of reality, there is a great deal of creative art in constructing models. This paper presents a good approach to simplifying a whole roller carding system. It proposes a novel technique to obtain a corresponding single degree of freedom model estimated from a high-order system. This model provides a computationally efficient and conceptually simple algorithm, which for system design purposes yields an appropriate estimation of a high-order linear system.
