Transfer Functions
Question 2:
1. Consider a system defined by the following state space equations:
ẋ1 −5 −1 x1 2
= + u
ẋ2 3 −1 x2 5
x1
y= 1 2
x2
Question 3:
Figure shows a closed-loop system with a reference input and disturbance input. Obtain the expres-
sion for the output C(s) when both the reference input and disturbance input are present.
Question 4:
Consider the system shown in Figure. Derive the expression for the steady-state error when both
the reference input R(s) and disturbance input D(s) are present.
Question 5:
Obtain the transfer functions C(s)/R(s) and C(s)/D(s) of the system shown in Figure.
Question 7:
Consider the system described by
...
y + 3ÿ + 2ẏ = u

Linearization
Question 8:
1. Linearize the non-linear equation
z = x2 + 8xy + 3y 2
3. Linearize
z = x2 + 4xy + y 2
in the region defined by 8 ≤ x ≤ 10, 2 ≤ y ≤ 4.

Response of Controller
Question 10:
Consider industrial automatic controllers whose control actions are proportional, integral, proportional-
plus integral, proportional-plus-derivative, and proportional-plus-integral-plus-derivative. The trans-
fer functions of these controllers can be given, respectively, by
U (s)
= Kp
E(s)
U (s) Ki
=
E(s) s
U (s) 1
= Kp 1+
E(s) Ti s
U (s)
= Kp (1 + Td s)
E(s)
U (s) 1
= Kp 1 + + Td s
E(s) Ti s
where U (s) is the Laplace transform of u(t), the controller output, and E(s) the Laplace transform
of e(t), the actuating error signal. Sketch u(t)-versus- t curves for each of the five types of controllers
when the actuating error signal is (a) e(t) = unit-step function (b) e(t) = unit-ramp function
In sketching curves, assume that the numerical values of Kp , Ki , Ti , and Td are given as
Kp = proportional gain = 4
Ki = integral gain = 2
Ti = integral time = 2 sec
Td = derivative time = 0.8 sec
