        Abstract
        Compensation for linear second-order servomechanisms has been used for many years to improve performance. This thesis studies in detail the use of error rate or derivative control as one method of improving performance. The effects of coulomb friction and backlash on the error rate control system are also studied. The error rate control system with coulomb friction and backlash were simulated on the Analog Computer to demonstrate qualitative results of this type of compensation. The favorable results of this investigation are then summarized in the conclusions. The author wishes to express his appreciation for the suggestion of this thesis topic and the invaluable aid extended by Professor G.J. Thaler of the Electrical Engineering Department of the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School.

          Steady state response of a second order servo-mechanism with backlash and resilience in the gears between motor and load 

          Anderson, Norris O.; Luckett, Thomas W. (Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1961);
          This thesis is concerned with the steady state response to a step input of a non-linear s ervomechani sm having viscous friction and a load position unity feedback loop. A gear train with "backlash between resilient gear ...

          Press coverage of the Persian Gulf War: historical perspectives and questions of policy beyond the shadow of Vietnam 

          Cochran, Kimberly Ann (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-06);
          Widely held views of military-press relations in the United States rest upon an incomplete image of the past. This became overwhelmingly evident during the recent Gulf War with its generalizations about the experience of ...

          Verifying digital filter initialization in a 3-dimensional coastal ocean model 

          Otis, David E. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1995-03);
          A primitive equation model is used to simulate mesoscale ocean variability to verify the digital filter initialization (DFI) method of Lynch and Huang. The model is initialized with two different analytic density fields, ...
