Hi all,
I'm trying to work out an equation of motion for a project I'm working on. It's a towed system with a cable and mass at the end and I would like to be able to come up with an equation of motion for the system. I have the mass' drag values from some COMSOL simulations, but i'm feeling like my knowledge of steady state controls systems is lacking (I'm a structures guy) and I'm feeling kind of stupid.
Can someone direct me to a good example of how to go about developing this? A link? A textbook? something that explains how to set up the equation? Been out of school a long time so this feels really alien to me.
thanks!
