delay-induced instability

[/dɪˈleɪ ɪnˈdjuːst ɪnˈstæbɪlɪti/]
nounpl: delay-induced instabilities
instabilidade induzida por atraso
1. A phenomenon in control systems and dynamical systems where time delays in feedback loops cause the system to become unstable, leading to oscillations or divergent behavior that would not occur without the delay
The manufacturing plant experienced delay-induced instability in its temperature control system due to sensor lag.
A planta de manufatura experimentou instabilidade induzida por atraso em seu sistema de controle de temperatura devido ao atraso do sensor.
2. In engineering and mathematics, the destabilizing effect that occurs when communication or processing delays are introduced into feedback control systems
Engineers must account for delay-induced instability when designing networked control systems.
Os engenheiros devem levar em conta a instabilidade induzida por atraso ao projetar sistemas de controle em rede.
This is a highly specialized technical term primarily used in academic and professional engineering contexts in both Brazil and Portugal. It is commonly encountered in control theory courses, robotics development, and industrial automation. The term reflects the increasing importance of understanding time delays in networked systems, particularly relevant in modern applications involving remote control and distributed systems.
