Lecture Time Domain Analysis of 2nd Order Systems

This document discusses time domain analysis of second-order systems. It begins by stating that compared to first-order systems, second-order systems can exhibit a wider range of responses depending on their parameter values. A general second-order transfer function is presented involving natural frequency (ωn), damping ratio (ζ). Based on the value of ζ, a second-order system can be classified as overdamped, underdamped, undamped, or critically damped. Examples are given to determine ωn and ζ for different second-order systems. The document provides an introduction to analyzing the time domain behavior of second-order systems.

Introduction
We have already discussed the affect of location of poles and zeros
on the transient response of 1st order systems.
Compared to the simplicity of a first-order system, a second-order
system exhibits a wide range of responses that must be analyzed
and described.
Varying a first-order system's parameter (T, K) simply changes the
speed and offset of the response
Whereas, changes in the parameters of a second-order system can
change the form of the response.

A second-order system can display characteristics much like a firstorder system or, depending on component values, display damped
or pure oscillations for its transient response.

Introduction
A general second-order system is characterized by
the following transfer function.

which is the frequency of oscillation of the system without
damping.
damping ratio of the second order system, which is a measure
of the degree of resistance to change in the system output.

of the following second order system.
