Design of Capture and Track Modes for a Lateral Autopilot using Synthesis
Abstract
This paper presents the results of a design exercise in which the most recent developments in H-infinity synthesis theory were applied to the problem of designing a lateral autopilot for a typical transport air- plane. The bulk of the engineering effort in applying these results was in the formulation of an appropriate synthesis model. We pre- sent some of the important aspects of this process. The linear controller design was done using H-infinity synthesis theory. The linear design was suitably modified to satisfy some of the performance constraints. Results of linear analysis and simulation of the final nonlinear controllers are presented.

Ball motion in a ball-obturated tubular projectile
Nunn, Robert H.; Bloomer, James Wayne (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1981-01); NPS69-81-001BWhen a ball with a concentric hole through it is suspended within a spinning tubular projectile the ball will rotate in such a way that its hole is aligned with the axis of spin of the projectile. The ball thus serves as ... -
