The possibility of using a smartphone in a single plane rotor balancing

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate and to describe the possibility of using the smartphones in the rotors balancing. It shows in the beginning a method to extract the necessary parameters for implementing the field balancing operation. An Android app was developed in order to record the smartphone sensors data of unbalanced rotors. The recorded data is then processed and used to identify the quantity of mass necessary and its position via a Matlab app. At the end, the smartphone results were compared by the exact results.
