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 pulselength modulated gas servo, the dynamics of fluid jet modulators, fluid jet modulation by electric spark discharge, electrostatic fluid jet modulation, vortex valve characteristics, jet-pipe inlet coupling, the transmission characteristics of flexible fluid-carrying tubes, and a bi-fluid pneumatic transformer.
