Description
Summary:This paper presents all the significant nonlinearities that exist in the description of an electro hydraulic actuator for flexible nozzle thrust vector control. Starting from practical possibilities of the theory of a nonlinear system (which are based on the analyses of one nonlinearity or one equivalent nonlinearity in the proximity of the linear description of an actuator), this paper explores the possibilities of additional analyses of a nonlinear electro hydraulic actuator for flexible nozzle thrust vector control. These explored possibilities can provide information that is useful for the design of the control algorithm, as well as for the general design of a flexible nozzle and actuator system.
