Saturation non linearity


From the above curve we can see that the output showing linear behavior in the
beginning but after that there is a saturation in the curve which one kind of non-
linearity in the system.

Friction Nonlinearity

Anything which opposes the relative motion of the body is called friction. It is a
kind of non-linearity present in the system. The common example in electric motor
in which we find coulomb friction drag due to the rubbing contact between the
brushes and the commutator.

Dead Zone Nonlinearity

Dead zone nonlinearity is shown in various electrical devices like motors, DC


motors, actuators etc. Dead zone non linearities refer to a condition in which
output becomes zero when the input crosses certain limiting value.

Relays Nonlinearity (ON/OFF Controller)


Electromechanical relays are frequently used in control systems where the control
strategy requires a control signal with only two or three states. This is also called
as ON/OFF controller or two state Controller.

Backlash Nonlinearity

Another important nonlinearity commonly occurring in the physical system is


hysteresis in mechanical transmissions such as gear trains and linkages. This
nonlinearity is somewhat different from magnetic hysteresis and is commonly
referred to as backlash nonlinearities. Backlash in fact is the play between the
teeth of the drive gear and those of the driven gear.

Q:5 Write short note on Comparative study between linear and non-linear
behavior of the system(Manually no use of software)

1) Linear systems have parameters that are time invariant, whereas non-linear

systems can have time variant parameters.

2) Linear systems are ideal systems but non-linear systems are real life systems.

3) Linear systems follow superposition principle but non-linear systems do not

follow superposition principle.

4) Linear systems involve differential equations therefore they can be analysed

using Root Locus, Bode Plot, Nyquist Plot but non-linear systems do not

involve differential equations so we cannot use Root Locus, Bode Plot,


Nyquist Plot to analyse them.
