1. Analysis and modeling of stiffness characteristics of hydraulic and electric actuators in the aircraft control system.

   The current trend in the construction of small transport aircraft, equipped with automatic control systems, is to use of hydraulic and electrical control units for the control surfaces of the airplane. These aggregates are the high demands on weight, energetic and dynamic properties. When analyzing systems control of the airplane it is necessary to consider the effects of aero-elastic phenomena in the construction of aircraft and flight modes. The negative effects of these aeroelastic phenomena can extend to accidents airplane. Inclusion of hydraulic or electric actuators to the airplane system control creates significant additional risk of such aeroelastic phenomena developing. The aim of this thesis is to make the effect of stiffness properties of hydraulic and electric actuators for aircraft aeroelastic phenomena. Based on theoretical analysis and modeling of the properties actuators control devise a methodology for assessing their effects on the generation of hazardous aerodynamic phenomena. It is also necessary to focus attention on methodology of experimental determination of the stiffness characteristics
