 EFFECT OF POLES AND ZEROS ON TIME RESPONSE
1. Set up the Given transfer function

For a: 1, 2, 3, 4 and plot the step response of each of the four transfer functions on a
single graph by using the Simulink LTI Viewer. Also, record the values of settling
time and rise time for each step response.

As we are increasing the value of a, the graph is coming closer to origin. Rise time and
settling time is decreasing which means that system is becoming stable faster as we are
 increasing the value of a.
2. Using Simulink, set up the system below

For a=4, b=25.

For a and b so that the imaginary part of the poles remains the same but the real
part is increased two times.

For a and b so that the imaginary part of the poles remains the same but the real part is
decreased 1/2 times.
ROOTS RISE TIME SETTLING TIME OVERSHOOT
-2 ± 4.58i 0.296 1.68 25.4%
-4 ± 4.58i 0.33 0.988 6.44%
-1 ± 4.58i 0.265 3.63 50.2%
In this question we first doubled the real part then decreased it ½ times. When we double the
real part, the rise time, settling time and overshoot is decreasing which means system is
 becoming stable faster than the original system. When we decreased it ½ times, rise time is
less than original system but overshoot and settling time is increased which means that
system is becoming stable slower than the original system.
3. Using Simulink, set up the systems
a=4, b=25.

a and b so that the real part of the poles remains the same but the imaginary part is
increased two times.
a and b so that the real part of the poles remains the same but the imaginary part is
increased four times

ROOTS RISE TIME SETTLING TIME OVERSHOOT

-2 ± 4.58i 0.296 1.68 25.4%

-2 ± 9.1652i 0.133 1.82 50.2%

-2 ± 18.3304i 0.0615 1.91 71%

If we increase the imaginary part, rise time is decreasing. Settling time and overshoot is
increasing which means system has more oscillations and is becoming stable slower than the
original system.
4. Using Simulink, set up the systems
a=4, b=25
a and b so that the damping ratio remains the same but the natural frequency is increased
two times.

a and b so that the damping ratio remains the same but the natural frequency is increased
four times

DAMPING NATURAL RISE TIME OVERSHOOT SETTLING

RATIO FREQUENCY TIME
0.4 5 0.296 25.4 1.68
0.4 10 0.146 25.4 0.841
0.4 20 0.0739 25.4 0.421
By increasing the natural frequency, overshoot is not affected while rise time and settling time is
decreasing which means the system is becoming stable earlier than the original system.
