(a) Sketch the loci of the system poles for varying K. (6 %) (b) Find K for a damping ratio 0.707 of the dominating poles. (7 %)
(c) Where is the third pole for this K? (7 %)
2. In the Figure shown, let G(s)=l/[(s+l)(s+4)] and let the compensator G, have the form G , =K(T,s + 1)/(T2s + I). This is called phase-lead compensation if TI > T2 and phase-lag compensation if TI < T,. Both are very common and their design will be discussed at length. One approach, considered here, is to choose the zero of G, to cancel one of the plant poles. If the system is to be designed for a damping ratio 0.5 using
1. Proportional control G, = K
2. Phase-lag compensation K(s+l)/(Ss+l)
3. Phase-lead compensation K(0.25~+1)/(0.05~+1) then:
(a) Determine the values of K required. ( 5
%)(b) Find and compare the steady-state errors following unit step inputs. (5 %) (c) Determine the closed-loop system time constants and compare the speeds of
response. (5 %)
3. In the Figure as shown below, the system is at rest initially. At t
=0 a unit-step displacement input is applied to point A. Assuming that the system remains linear throughout the .response period and is underdamped, find the response x(t) as well as the values of x(O+), x(O+) , and x(w). (15 %)
