TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Recent work using volterra series as a methodology to analyze nonlinear aircraft dynamic properties JO - Mathematical and computer modelling A1 - Baumann, W.T.

SP - 883 EP - 888 VL - 11 IS - N2 - Preliminary results are discussed which demonstrate the accuracy of the Volterra series approach and its potential for defining nonlinear flying quality parameters. Simulations are presented which show that two-term Volterra submodels predict nonlinear responses, such as limit cycles, that are not predicted using piecewise linear techniques. Incorporating higher order terms in the approximation is shown to result in more accurate predictions.
