In order to simplify identification, the system was divided into appropriate functional parts. Then, via laboratory tests, dynamic and static characteristics of those parts were obtained, and numerical values of coefficients of suitable mathematical model of the system were determined. The structural scheme of the overall system was derived on the basis of the obtained static characteristics and transfer functions of individual parts of the system, and based on the knowledge about the system feedbacks. For the investigation of the considered control system, one applied a method of computer simulations. The mathematical model and its numerical implementation was experimentally verified. To this aim: • the results of model testing (for open-loop system) were compared with the existing results of experimental tests carried-out on a real tank; • tests of the complete closed-loop system were carried -out and their results were compared with the results of numerical computations. The results of experimental and model simulation investigations showed that the mathematical model and its numerical implementation was worked-out correctly.}, type={Article}, title={Experimental investigations and identification of a stabilising and tracking control system}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/125106/PDF-MASTER/5_MECHANICAL_49_2002_2_Paplinski_Experimental.pdf}, keywords={stabilising and tracking control system, tank gun stabiliser}, }
