Abstract
The paper describes the design and development of a fast acting self-excitation and control system based on the principles of regenerative and negative feedback for phase resonance testing of aerodynamic models in wind tunnels. Simulation tests and analyses using a linearized model of the drive system are carried out, and results indicate that the system would function even if the system damping becomes neutral or negative. Experiments for dynamic stability measurements show that the control system meets all specifications and performs satisfactorily even in the presence of moderate amounts of turbulence in the air flow.
