Résumé : |
It was recently shown that the existence of limit cycles in nonlinear feedback systems can be predicted by using combinations of Walsh functions to approximate to signals around the feedback loop.
This necessitated the introduction of two new quantities, the equivalent Gain (EG) and the Walsh Gain (WG), representing the responses of linear and nonlinear elements, respectively, to Walsh function inputs.
This dissertation considers the application of the method to the case where the nonlinear element in the feedback system is an asymmetrical nonlinearity.
This involves the development of modified EG and WG functions, appropriate to the balance around the feedback loop of periodic signals with non-zero mean values.
The proposed method is compared with the describing function approach for a selection of systems with relay type nonlinearities, and an at tempt is made to assess the relative advantages and disadvantages of the two techniques. |
