Estimating modulus of elasticity, torque loss, and tension using an Extended Kalman Filter
Abstract
A set of sub-optimal Extended Kalman Filters (EKF's) are described. The filters are used to estimate web tension, modulus of elasticity, and loss torque for all sections in a small web processing line located at Rockwell Automation's Euclid Research Facility. Conditions necessary for observability, and estimate convergence are discussed.
