Project Details
Synopsis
Gimbal systems are used in line of sight stabilization
as they isolate system from environment. Before
designing two axis gimbal system, analytical modeling
of cross coupling of cross coupling of two axis gimbal
system with dynamic unbalance must be done. In this
research, a mathematical model of the two axis gimbal
system will be derived by considering the angular
motion , cross coupling between gimbals and
unsymmetrical mass distribution. The derived
mathematical model will be simulated in
MATLAB/simulink. A robust controller will be designed
for the system.

Instructions
All the columns of project proposal forms are mandatory to be filled.
The minimum qualification for a supervisor is eighteen years of education plus two years service.
The minimum requirement for a co-supervisor is eighteen years of education.
In case of external supervisor (outside DEE), a co-supervisor will be mandatory from faculty.
Wherever the project work is carried out (including classified establishments), the defense (only
examiners and supervisor) and final presentation (open to all) will be held at PIEAS. The presence of
supervisor is necessary for all presentations of fourth and fifth semesters.
DEE has right to reject or accept any project.
