Abstract:
This report describes the use of the sensitivity techniques of ASD-TDR-62-1014 for locating a single sensor on an elastic airframe-autopilot system. The sensor is located such that closed loop coupling does not interfere with good closed-loop operation of the airframe. Such coupling can physically be interpreted as the generation of undesired command inputs to the autopilot caused by the detection of elastic motion by the sensor. A reasonable first loca tion for the sensor is decided by engineering judgment and the sensitivity of the closed-loop roots to sensor location is found by employing the aforementioned sensitivity techniques. Prediction of the most desirable sensor loca tion can then be made without many tedious iterations. Author
