Abstract
This paper describes computational methods for the evaluation of safe limits of operation of driven mechanical systems. We define the proble m of evaluating the safety of transient and steady-stale motions in te rms of the escape from a potential well. We then describe a simple, ro bust method of determining boundaries of safe operation in control spa ce, and we conclude by applying the method to a number of examples.
