Book Synopsis Analog Analysis of the Heave Response and Control of the Plenum-type Air-cushion Vehicle by : Jack D. Leatherwood
Download or read book Analog Analysis of the Heave Response and Control of the Plenum-type Air-cushion Vehicle written by Jack D. Leatherwood. This book was released on 1971. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analytical investigation was conducted to determine the basic heave response characteristics of a plenum-type tracked air-cushion vehicle as a function of vehicle operating parameters. In addition to determining basic characteristics, the effect of an active lip control system on the vehicle dynamic response was investigated. Nonlinear equations describing the dynamic and thermodynamics tate of the air-cushion system were derived, and the response of the system to sinusoidal perturbations of the guideway was obtained with the use of an analog computer. Results are presented in terms of vehicle-to-guideway motions and vehicle accelerations experienced during fundamental and subharmonic oscillations.
