To visualize vibrations in mechanical systems, e.g., machine tools, their movements are measured by means of suitable sensors. The signals from these sensors are processed and displayed as animated pictures on a computer screen. Accelerometers have been chosen as the most suitable sensors for this purpose. Their main advantages include...
Impact point dispersion of a direct fire rocket can be drastically reduced with a ring of appropriately sized lateral pulse jets coupled to a trajectory tracking flight control system. The system is shown to work well against uncertainty in the form of initial off-axis angular velocity perturbations as well as...
