Abstract: A static model for predicting the input-output characteristics of direct and transverse impact modulators is presented. The model is based on the position and shape of the dividing streamsurface ...

Abstract: A vehicle propulsion system is considered which consists of an engine, hydrostatic transmission, and automatic controller. Control requirements are established for optimum or near optimum operation ...

Abstract: This paper discusses a procedure for the synthesis of hybrid control systems which incorporate both continuous (proportional) and decisional (binary) variables. A hybrid logic algebra is presented ...

Abstract: A second-order method is presented which uses the results of static mechanics analysis for the systematic derivation of ordinary differential equations describing the lateral dynamic behavior of ...

Abstract: A simplified dynamic analysis of a moving web which neglects materials properties is presented, and the transfer functions of several fundamental elements of lateral web behavior are derived. ...

Abstract: A new systematic and algebraic linear control system design procedure for use with highly nonlinear plants is developed. This procedure is based on simultaneous stabilization theory and ...
