Research effort is described which is directed toward several aspects of the stability problem pertinent to the analysis of space vehicle guidance systems. Problems encountered during this study are mentioned.
Statistical properties of transients distributed in multivariable control system performance
Matrix Riccati equations for optimization in control theory
Indirect method considers effect of nonlinearity and obtains approximate probability densities of certain characteristics, from these densities various statistical properties are calculated. Direct method determines response moments directly. Neither method is restricted by system motion with regard to whether or not it is stationary.
Linear transfer function for describing human response to aircraft control
Techniques for obtaining quantitative information about boundedness properties are developed and applied to the sampled-data control of satellite attitude with quantization. Relevant stability concepts are introduced as a series of definitions, and interrelationships between various definitions are discussed. The boundedness regions are estimated by means of quadratic Liapunov functions, and a sufficient condition for the existence of a boundedness region is given for a certain class of systems. A quadratic Liapunov function is applied to the Lur'e-Postinkov class of systems, where the linear part of the system is not asymptotically stable and the quantizer represents the nonlinear characteristic. A numerical calculation of the region of boundedness estimates is performed for satellite attitude control and is compared with simulation results. It is tentatively concluded that the Liapunov results may be good and that simulation results may be difficult to interpret and time-consuming to generate. The Lur'e-based technique yields estimates of regions of absolute boundedness, but at the cost of greater analytical complexity.
This paper presents a Liapunov stability theory applicable to hybrid systems with multi-elastic domains. The mathematical formulation consists of a simultaneous set of ordinary and partial differential equations. A new stability theorem, particularly suited to such hybrid systems, is introduced. To predict the system stability by means of the theorem, it is necessary to construct a functional k, where k is free of spatial derivatives and bounding the Hamiltonian H from below. The conditions under which the construction of such a functional is possible are shown. As an application of the theory, the attitude stability of an earth-pointing satellite with multi-elastic domains is investigated and closed-form stability criteria derived.
