Abstract
A general method is derived for transient analysis of complicated nonlinear dynamical systems by use of a digital computer programmed to perform tensor transformations and numerical integration. Tensor methods, adapted from Kron's techniques, are used for converting circuit data into a form for transient simulation by numerical integration. An IBM 704 program has been written for simulation of cryotron networks. This simulator has been used to study switching speeds of cross-latched cryotron flip-flops; five-stage, free-running, ring circuits; and a three-bit, self-timing, self-checking, binary, parallel adder. The adder circuit contains 233 circuit elements, including 93 cryotrons arranged in 55 meshes. Results of these studies are included.Keywords
