From the performance
notes/depiction of the Inverted Equilibrium Sonic Pendulum and the Cello:
We have executed a
control method for maintaining an inverted pendulum in the unstable equilibrium
position. This application is a classic lesson in control science, frequently
utilized in ballistic guidance. In the case of the Cello, the
proportional-integral-derivative (PID) method was implemented in LabWindows and intendulum with test mass. Once optimal parameters for the algorithm were established,
trials were conducted in which individual gain constants were varied while
controlling string and bow pressure to observe changes in instrument behavior.
When applying bow
pressure, vector fields can have several special points: a stable point, called
a sink, that attracts in all directions (forcing the concentrations to be at a
certain value), an unstable point, either a source or a saddle point which repels
(forcing the concentrations to change away from a certain value), and a limit
cycle, a closed trajectory towards which several trajectories spiral towards
(making the concentrations oscillate).
