USE OF MITROVIC'S METHOD IN PREDICTING LIMIT CYCLES IN FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEMS WITH ONE AND TWO GAIN VARIABLE NONLINEARITIES.

Abstract

Analysis and design of linear feedback control systems by application of the basic Mitrovic method is well established. However, little has been done in applying the basic Mitrovic method to nonlinear systems. The objective of this work was twofold. First, Mitrovic's method as applied to systems with a single gain-variable nonlinearity predicts limit cycles with results comparable to existing analysis methods. Secondly, an analog computer study was made on a system with two gain-variable nonlinearities and the results interpreted by Mitrovic's method. (Author)
