Sheet8 Stability

This document contains 5 questions regarding the stability of different linear systems. Question 1 asks to test the stability of 3 systems of differential equations. Question 2 shows that a system with a specific characteristic equation is always unstable. Question 3 asks to find conditions for stability and plot the stability region for a 2nd order system. Question 4 gives a closed-loop state space system and asks to use Routh criteria to find the stable range of a parameter and details for a marginally stable case. Question 5 provides a block diagram and asks to find conditions for stability, plot the stability region, and details for a critically stable case with a specified parameter value.

Sheet (8): Stability


(1) Test the stability of the systems described by the following differential equations:
(a) y  3y  y  2 y  u(t )
(b) y ( 4)  2y  5 y  y  2 y  u(t )
(c) y + α y + β y +δ y = u(t)

(2) Show that a system with the characteristic equation:


(α-2) s3 + (1- α) s2 + (α+5) s + (α-3) =0
is always unstable for any value of α.

(i) Using Routh criterion, find the range of K for which the system is stable.
(ii) Determine the value of K that will result in a marginally stable system, find the frequency of
oscillation.
(iii) Find the location of all roots of the system characteristic equation for that value of K found
in (ii).

(5) (midterm2003) The design of a turning control for a tracked vehicle involves the selection of
two parameters. The block diagram of the system model is shown in figure 2 where R(s) is the
desired direction of turning and D(s) is the disturbance.
- find the condition on a and k for stable operation. Plot the region of stability on k-a plane.
- If the value of a is selected to be (a=1), select a gain K that will result in a stable operation.
find the value of K that gives critically stable system and the frequency of oscillation.
