This document contains a tutorial for a microprocessors and automatic control class. It includes 6 problems related to signal flow graphs and feedback control systems. Problem 1 asks students to draw a signal flow graph for a 2 degree of freedom spring-mass-damper system. Problem 2 involves determining closed loop transfer functions using block diagrams and signal flow graphs for a feedback control system. Problem 3 and 4 involve determining closed loop transfer functions and drawing equivalent block diagrams from given signal flow graphs. Problem 5 asks students to analyze a transfer function by plotting poles and zeros. Problem 6 asks students to write the closed loop transfer function for a feedback system and determine if it can have an oscillatory response.

Tutorial 6 September 3, 2015 1. A two-degree of freedom spring-massdamper system is subjected to a force excitation to its first degree of freedom as shown. Draw a signal flow graph for this system
2. A feedback control system is formed by the
blocks as shown in the figure. (a) Determine the closed-loop transfer function C(s)/R(s) using block manipulation (b) Determine the closed-loop transfer function C(s)/R(s) using signal flow graph (c) Select the gains K1 and K2 such that the closed loop response is underdamped with an overshoot of 20% and peak time of 1.7 sec. What is the overall static sensitivity?
3. The signal flow graph of a feedback
system is shown in the Figure. (a) Determine the closed-loop transfer function C(s)/R(s) (b) Draw the corresponding block diagram of this signal flow graph
4. Consider the signal flow graph
shown in the figure. (a) Determine the closed-loop transfer function (b) Draw the equivalent block diagram of the above system and label the variables
5. Consider the following transfer function:
( s 2)( s 4) ( s 2)( s 4)( s 2 2s 10) (1) (2) (3) (4)
Plot the pole-zero map of the above transfer function
Mark the poles corresponding to underdamped behaviour Mark the pole corresponding to overdamped behaviour Mark the pole that is likely to give a large response
6. Write down the closed-loop transfer function of the feedback system shown in the block diagram. Is it possible for this system to have an oscillatory closedloop response?
