Walking Instability in a Washing Machine

Application ID: 19901


Walking instability, due to non-uniform distribution of clothes, is a common problem in lightweight portable washing machines. This problem is more severe in horizontal-axis washing machines, which are more popular because of their high efficiency in spite of high manufacturing cost.

This model simulates a simplified model of a horizontal-axis portable washing machine and predicts the verge of walking instability during the spinning cycle. A control-based active balancing method is also implemented to eliminate the instability and vibrations present in the system.
