The Second Describing Function and Removal of Jump Resonance by Signal Stabilization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A derivative of the output of a nonlinear element is taken with respect to the input. For commonly occurring nonlinearities which are piecewise linear, this derivative is sectionally constant ...
Linearization of Time-Independent Nonlinearities by Use of an Extra Signal and Extra Nonlinearity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The technique of signal stabilization is that of introducing an extra signal at the input to a nonlinearity to improve or otherwise alter its performance. In this paper this technique is ...
Time Optimal Control for a Class of Common Random Disturbances
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper concerns the time optimal control of a system variable where the controlling input is bounded, as is usually the case, and the system is subject to arbitrary disturbances. An ...
Signal Stabilization of a Memory Type Nonlinearity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dual input describing function (DIDF) is derived here by statistical methods for the difficult case of a memory type nonlinearity. Special mathematical techniques are used to simplify the ...
Propagation of Disturbance in Fluid Lines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the phenomena of the decay and dispersion of a disturbance pulse as it travels in a fluid along a pipe. A disturbance has associated with it ...
Effects of Extra Sinusoidal Inputs to Nonlinear Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a technique for predicting the effect of an extra high frequency sinusoidal input on systems with various commonly occurring types of nonlinearities. This input may be thought ...
Dynamic Response of Fluid Lines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of hydraulic transmission lines in automatic control, liquid-propellant rocket, and other systems requires accurate knowledge of their dynamic response. In this paper the effects of fluid ...
