Reduced Order Approximations to Higher Order Linear Systems

Abstract

Low order models are derived by a computer program technique which utilizes the Routh Approximation Method of analysis. Comparisons are made between this method and that of the Dominant Pole Method and the Iterative Optimization Method of analysis. Low order models are developed from higher- order linear systems and compared to that system in response to input excitations consisting of a Step and a Ramp. Graphical displays and numerical tables provide a basis for error analysis and comparisons between the approximation techniques.
