2. Draw up the performance specifications for this system. Since the system is under
actuated, discuss the choice of the appropriate output variable and the implication
this has on the system performance. (8 Marks)
Answer:
4. Analyse the basic performance of the uncontrolled plant both in time and frequency
domains. Compare the time responses of the linear and nonlinear suspension
models to a variety of realistic input signals. Is control necessary? Can the system
design be improved to remove the need for control? If the answer is yes, how is this
achieved? (15 Marks)
