Abstract
A technique for the use of a digital computer for simultaneous
generation of feedback control system transient
response and sensitivity to parameter variations is developed.
The sensitivity model for a basic linear control system is a
cascaded replica of the original system with the sensitivity
pickoff points corresponding to the error and feedback signals
of the original system. This is convenient for computer analysis
with DSL/360. For systems with nonlinear elements, the
sensitivity model is implemented by making the instantaneous
gain equal to the slope of the nonlinear function. Sensitivity
analysis is utilized for improvement of system
performance, determining parameter tolerances, and predicting
changes in the response due to parameter variations.
