This document summarizes a lab on analyzing control systems. It covers: 1) Exercises analyzing stability of systems based on pole locations. 2) Analyzing step and impulse responses of first and second order systems and their rise/settling times. 3) Using MATLAB Simulink to model step responses. 4) Review questions defining transient/steady-state responses and stability based on pole locations.

Review exercises
1)
• The time response of a control system mainly has two parts

𝑦(𝑡) = 𝑦𝑡(𝑡)+𝑦𝑚(𝑡)

𝑦(𝑡) = Time Response

𝑦𝑡(𝑡) = Transient response

𝑦𝑚(𝑡) = Steady-state response

• Transient response 𝑦𝑡(𝑡) is defined as the part where the time response that goes to zero
as the time becomes very large.

• Steady-state response 𝑦𝑚(𝑡) is the part of the system where the time response that remain
after the transient has been over.

• The important parameter is the steady state error(𝐸𝑠𝑠) , the steady state error is the error
when →∞ .
2)

a) T1(s) – Poles having negative real parts therefore the System is stable.

b) T2(s) – Poles having negative real parts therefore the System is stable.
c) T3(s) – Poles having zero real parts and also having simple roots therefore the System is
marginally stable.

d) T4(s) – Poles having positive and negative real parts, and the imaginary parts are zero
therefore the System is unstable.

√2km

The damping ratio is the ratio of the actual damping 𝑏 to the critical damping 𝑏𝑐=2√𝑘𝑚 . This is
a dimensionless quantity characterizing the energy losses in the system due to such effects as
viscous friction or electrical resistance.

In a second-order system,

• If the damping factor (𝜁)<1,


The system is underdamped, and the system will oscillate
.
• If the damping factor (𝜁)=1,
The system is critically damped

• If the damping factor (𝜁)>1,


The system is over-damped, and the oscillation is over (more like a first-order
system).

As the damping factor approach 0, the first peak becomes infinite in height
