  2. Stability derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_derivatives

    X stability axis is aligned into the direction of the oncoming air in steady flight. (It is projected into the plane made by the X and Z body axes if there is sideslip). Y stability axis is the same as the Y body-fixed axis. Z stability axis is perpendicular to the plane made by the X stability axis and the Y body axis.

  3. Marginal stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_stability

    Marginal stability, like instability, is a feature that control theory seeks to avoid; we wish that, when perturbed by some external force, a system will return to a desired state. This necessitates the use of appropriately designed control algorithms.

  4. Root locus analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_locus_analysis

    The plot of the root locus then gives an idea of the stability and dynamics of this feedback system for different values of . [12] [13] The rules are the following: Mark open-loop poles and zeros; Mark real axis portion to the left of an odd number of poles and zeros; Find asymptotes

  5. Nyquist stability criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist_stability_criterion

    The Nyquist plot for () = + + with s = jω.. In control theory and stability theory, the Nyquist stability criterion or Strecker–Nyquist stability criterion, independently discovered by the German electrical engineer Felix Strecker [] at Siemens in 1930 [1] [2] [3] and the Swedish-American electrical engineer Harry Nyquist at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932, [4] is a graphical technique ...

  6. Stability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_theory

    In mathematics, stability theory addresses the stability of solutions of differential equations and of trajectories of dynamical systems under small perturbations of initial conditions. The heat equation , for example, is a stable partial differential equation because small perturbations of initial data lead to small variations in temperature ...

  7. Longitudinal stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_stability

    The longitudinal stability of an aircraft, also called pitch stability, [2] refers to the aircraft's stability in its plane of symmetry [2] about the lateral axis (the axis along the wingspan). [1] It is an important aspect of the handling qualities of the aircraft, and one of the main factors determining the ease with which the pilot is able ...

  8. The J Curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_J_Curve

    The J is steeper on the left hand side, as it is easier for a leader in an authoritarian state to create stability by closing the country than to build a civil society and establish accountable institutions; the curve is higher on the far right than left because states that prevail in opening their societies (Eastern Europe, for example ...

  9. Pourbaix diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pourbaix_diagram

    Pourbaix diagram of iron. [1] The Y axis corresponds to voltage potential. In electrochemistry, and more generally in solution chemistry, a Pourbaix diagram, also known as a potential/pH diagram, E H –pH diagram or a pE/pH diagram, is a plot of possible thermodynamically stable phases (i.e., at chemical equilibrium) of an aqueous electrochemical system.
