PROJECT VANGUARD REPORT NO.34 APPLICATION OF THE SIMPLIFIED PHASE PLANE TO THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF MISSILE JET-RELAY CONTROL SYSTEMS

摘要

The application of phase plane analysis to a missile jet relay control system is reviewed, explained, and illustrated. Only a single lead network is considered under conditions in which aerodynamic damping is negligible. The assumption that all forces occur as step inputs is used to simplify analysis techniques and does not constitute a significant limitation on the application of this method for design purposes.nTo aid in system design, an analytic method for the solution of phase plane plots is developed. The analytic technique reduces the time necessary to evaluate a system design by minimizing the necessity for construction of phase plane diagrams.
