Assignment 1: MATLAB practical assignment

Student name: Florian Kambonde


Student no: 201708591

Lecturer: Dr. T. Wanjekeche

Figure 2 Inverse Laplace transform code

The answer from the resulting code

Figure 3 Inverse Laplace transform part 1


Figure 4 Inverse Laplace transform part 2

The resultant inverse Laplace transform = (content of figure. 3) – (content of figure.4)

Question 3

(a)

The transfer function can be represented in Simulink as follows, with the two input ports scope
connected to display the step response, with or without the system being subjected to an input.

Figure 5 Transfer function configuration

The response of the system when it is not subjected to any input function
Figure 6 Step response with no input signal

And after being subjected to an input (with an integrator)

Figure 7 Step response after the system is subjected to an input signal


(b) The system configuration in Simulink

Figure 8 Transfer function block configuration

Figure 9 Step response when it is not subjected to any input signal


Figure 10 Step response when after being subjected to any input sign

Question 4

Figure 11 Damping and time characteristics


Question 5

(a) The roots of the equations are -5, -7, -9, therefore,

Figure 12 Poly command

Hence, the polynomial equation is:


3 2
s +21 s +143 s+ 315

(b) The coefficients of the polynomial equation are taken into the root command.

Figure 13 Roots
(c)

Figure 14 Expand command to obtain the polynomial equation

Hence, the polynomial equation is s4 + 12 s3 +51 s 2 +92 s +60

Or it can further be well presented by the ‘pretty’ command

Question 6

(a)

The system is a type zero

(b)

The code to obtain the steady state errors is as shown in figure 17

b)

The limits were changed where the axes go from -1 to 0 on the real axis and -2 to 2 on the imaginary
axis.

Figure 22 Limits to the graph


Figure 23 below was obtained with respect tohange in limits in 7 (b)

c)

10% overshoot line on the close-up root locus, was obtained at 10.1%

Figure 24 10.1% overshoot line on the close-up root locus

d)

The gain obtained at 10.1 % overshoot is 14.2
