Detecting freeplay in mechanical systems : for the development of autonomous sensing devices

This thesis is a study of freeplay - gaps between notionally connected components in mechanical systems. For some systems any amount of freeplay can complicate closed loop control design and introduce energetic impacts between bearing components. The work was motivated by freeplay present in the con...
