This chapter outlines ways of extending the methods of dynamic analysis used in chapter 2 in order to cope with the characteristics of complete servo systems. It begins with an indication of the behaviour to be expected from systems governed by third-order equations (such as that analysed in chapter 4). Then it deals with some generalisations and techniques involving block diagrams and vectorial representations of harmonic response. These lead up to a summary of the criteria which can be used to assess the stability of servo systems in general and of hydraulic servomechanisms in particular.
