Stability Criteria for a Nonlinear Reactor Control System

Journal Article · · IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science
The stability criteria for a nonlinear reactor control system is developed. The control system contains two nonlinearities; an on-off relay aid gear backlash. A describing function for the nonlinearities is generated in terms of shim rate, relay deadband, and gear backlash. The describing function is then used to generate the stability criteria.
