Book Description
Methods for determining describing functions and limit cycles of single-valued nonlinear feedback systems are presented. A harmonic balance method is developed for finding the describing functions of multiplicative nonlinearities. The determination of limit cycles is accomplished by utilizing a newly-developed analytic method. This approach, which is completely computer oriented, imposed neither order limitations on the linear part nor restrictions on the number of possible stable limit cycles. Illustrative examples for both methods are included. (Author).

Analysis of Limit Cycle Stability and Control for Nonlinear Systems
Author: Shakya Ashish Kumar
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783659802768
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
In this book study of stability and robustness of limit cycles in nonlinear systems in the presence of uncertainties when the nonlinearities are present in the feedback and feed-forward path is explained. Describing function method is a well known method for prediction and stability investigation of limit cycle. With the help of Describing function method limit cycles characteristics can be determined (amplitude and frequency of oscillation). In this book, Barkhausen characteristics equation has been used to investigate the robustness of the limit cycle of Lur'e system. Further a designing procedure of a robust controller is explained to control the characteristics of limit cycle in the presence of uncertainties.

Investigations of Describing Function Technique

Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
Three problems were chosen so as to explore some of the apparent limitations of describing function technique for the analysis of nonlinear systems, and to show how the technique might be extended so as to overcome the indicated deficiencies. The problems were (a) the effects of stick and valve friction in fully powered, manual aircraft control systems, (b) limit cycles in satellite attitude control with off-on jets, and (c) the effects of aerodynamic hysteresis in the stability derivatives of tilt-wing VTOL aircraft. The results indicate that new describing functions can be developed as closed-loop functions provided that specific restrictions are met, that non-sinusoidal, Fourier series describing functions or a generalized periodic input describing function can be successful, but that they are extraordinarily difficult to apply, and that the aerodynamic nonlinearities which were considered are of small practical importance.

The Analysis of Nonlinear Feedback Sampled-data Systems
Author: Mangalore Anantha Pai
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Data transmission systems
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Various techniques are available for the analysis of nonlinear sampled-data systems. Most of these methods use either the phase plane approach or the describing function technique. Since the performance of such a system is described, at sampling instants, by means of a difference equation, an approach based on the difference equation would seem to be both natural and direct. The principle of complex convolution for a transform is explained and its geometrical interpretation is given. It is shown how the application of the convolution transform is both direct and simple with respect to solving nonlinear difference equations when the equation is given in scalar form. Dependence of the convergence of the solution on the initial value and the degree of nonlinearity is pointed out. It is concluded that for difference equations of second order and higher, this method involves too much laborious computation to justify its use. A simple method is presented for examining free oscillations in a sampled-data system containing either relay or a saturating amplifier. In addition, a certain analytical technique, analogous to that for differential equations, is developed to investigate the stability of forced oscillations for certain types of nonlinear difference equations.
