Project - Position control of mass spring damper system
The simulink design of a virtual mass spring damper system has been done in the MATLAB simulink platform. The role of the position controlling has been shown so that the impacts of changes of position of a mass spring damper system can be previewed.

The simulink model has been attached here so that the connections of different blocks can be possible to understand. A PID controller has been added so that the adjustment of the force on mass can be done easily. There is also considered the numerical values of the variables in the pulse generator block. The numerical values m, k and c are eventually 3.6, 400 and 100.

This image has highlighted the set up of input signal and using this set up, the generation of desired signal has been much easier. The desired signal is applied to the input section after setting the most suitable values of amplitude, period, pulse width and phase delay.

The Graphical representation of the input signal is shown in this image which is previewed in the scope block. The amplitude of the input signal is 5. The setting of the reference signal is done using a pulse generator block in the simulink platform. A scope block is connected to the pulse generator so that the characteristics of the reference signal can be known in the most representatively.

The output response of the designed model has been also depicted in the scope. This has helped to understand the variety of input and output in the most representative way. This has been noticed that the variation of the output can be beneficial in the procedure of decision making related to the designed simulink model.
