With increasing attitude gain value, a,,this boundary shifts farther aIrag from thec,-asis. Increasing the accelerometer gain, thatis, providing more influence of the accelerometeron the control of the vehicle, decreases thedistance of the static stability boundary frornthe ca-axis. The dynamic stability is expressedbyVEHICLE STABILITY AND CONTROLwhere the equal sign represents the stabilityboundary (fig. 7.12).
I n the (t,-€:)-plane thestability boundary represents a straight line ofslope a,€(27 through the origin.Stability istherefore provided below the parallel line to the€,-axis (static stability boundary) and to theleft of the straight line (dynamic stabilityboundary). With increasing attitude controlgain, ao,the dynamic stability boundary rotatestoward the E:-axis, providing a hrge part ofthe left half plane for stability; in addition, thestatic stability boundary moves upward. Thisexpresses that a limited range for the locationalong the vehicle can be provided for themounting of a control accelerometer.
If e, isnegative, that is. the accelerometer is mounteda t a location where the bending mode exhibitsnegative values (vehicle normalized to unity a tthe gimbal station xE), then positive and negative values for the slope of the bending modeare available for the location of the accelerometer. With increasing frequency ratio ofbending to control frequency, the same trendoccurs.
For an increase of the availability ofthrust for control purposes, the static stabilityboundary remains a t its position, while thedynamic stability boundary rotates againtoward the vertical. For increasing accelerometer gain, A, the static stability boundarymoves toward the €,-axis while the dynamicstability boundary remains fixed, which indi-staticboundary1FIGURE7.12.-Stability/boundaries for flexible vehiclewith accelerometer control.243cates that a more restricted range of locationsfor the mounting of a control accelerometer isavailable.Propellant Sloshing in O n e Container of a VehicleWith Simple Control SystemI n order to obtain some of the basic effectsof the influence of propellant sloshing uponvehicle stability without expending any greatnumerical effort, the equations of motion of thevehicle will be treated with the propellant asfree to oscillate in one container only. Thevehicle will be considered as rigid (rlY=O)andonly the most pronounced modal sloshing mass(see ch.
6) will be retained in the analysis;that is, A = 1 and n= 1. Introducing ~ , = 0andn=A=l into equations (7.16), (7.17), (7.20),(7.26), and (7.28), one obtains the equations ofmotion for the rigid vehicle with propellantsloshing in one container and additionalaccelerometer control (refs. 7.17 and 7.18).The first equation represents translational motions and the second one represents pitchingmotion of the vehicle.
Equation (7.44) is thesloshing equation describing the motion of thefirst modal sloshing mass. The fourth equationrepresents the control, which indicates that aposition gyroscope and additional accelerometerare employed for the control of the vehicle.Finally, the last equation represents the dynamics of the couiio! acce!ernmeter.
If anideal accelerometer were employed, that is,w,>>w,,the first and second terms of equation(7.46) would be neglected. A control systememploying no accelerometer control \\-ould leadto the omission of the last equation and avanishing gain value g, in equation (7.45). Thestability of the solutions of such a system isagain obtained by assuming a solution of the244T H J ~ DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF LIQUIDSform ebc', where s is the complex frequency,s = r+ iw. This assump tion for the solutiontransforms the differential equations into ahomogeneous algebraic system, which exhibitsnontrivial solutions only if the determinants of(Y(@)Here, X=gg, and pll=mll/m is the ratio of thesloshing mass in the container to the total massof the vehicle.

The stability boundary for the undampedliquid is Co([,)=O, and represents the intersection points with the [,-axis. For all points(f,, y,) above the stability boundary, oneobtains stability.
Because of B,=O, thestability is interrupted a t the left and a t theright so that only within these boundaries isstability guaranteed. The stability boundariesof Bn=O to the right and left are given in theform of straight lines perpendicular to the[,-axis asFor most vehicles, however, these boundariesplay no practical role. Substitution of f,=y,=O into the Hunvitz determinants determines whether the origin is in the stable orunstable region.
