BASIC APPLIED RESEARCH IN FLUID POWER CONTROL.

Abstract

The report presents technical results and describes progress in several phases of continuing applied research and development related to the design and development of high-performance fluid control devices for advanced aerospace systems. Emphasis continues to be placed on pneumatic components and systems which are capable of performing, with high reliability, over wide-ranges of temperature and in the presence of intense radiation. The report describes current work dealing with a pulse actuation servo system, a pneumatic oscillator, the static modeling of fluid jet modulators, electrostatic pure fluid modulation, optimization of vortex valves, jet pipe inlet coupling, and the dynamic characteristics of gas thrust bearings.
