A nonlinear study of the gain margin of a third order regulator system

This thesis analyzes the dynamic response of a third order regulator system. Particular emphasis is placed upon the loss of stability of the nominal equilibrium state. The system utilized in this research models the fundamental turning dynamics of an autonomous vehicle. We make extensive use of bifu...
