Abstract

In this study, an analytical concept is explored in the simulation environment, and an unbalanced load detection technique is examined to determine its applicability. To continue the development process, a mathematical model for a horizontal washer is developed to comprehend the characteristics of an unbalanced load with respect to various sizes of balanced loads. The mathematical model is then divided into a regressor vector and an estimator vector. Finally, estimates of the unbalanced load, the unbalance location, and the rotational moment of inertia are compared to their references in the simulation environment.
