Abstract
Concerns mass measurement under conditions of weightlessness. A mass measurement system using the self-excited oscillation of a nonlinear system is developed. The system contains an on-off relay with dead zone and switches force acting on the object in relation to the position. The mass of the object is determined from the time interval measurement of the on-state and off-state periods. The measurement accuracy is experimentally studied.

Analysis on the effects of stiffness in mass measurement using relay feedback of displacement

TL;DR: In this paper, a relay-feedback mass measurement system that uses a relay with dead zone and feeds back the displacement of the object has been proposed, however, the object to be measured was guided by a spring for avoiding rotation and the effect of stiffness produced by this spring on mass estimation was not investigated analytically.
