Homework #3

1 Practice problems:
1.1 Practice Questions
Practice on the skills check questions at the end of chapters 7,10 (before the exercises).

Root Locus Almost all exercises/problems are relevant ( except those for positive gain RL and sensitivity)
for instance: E7.1,E7.16,E7.19, P7.1, P7.24, AP7.1, AP7.9.....

RL-based Compensator design E10.1, E10.5,E10.9, P10.17, AP10.1, AP10.2..... among others

2 Homework problems:
Problem 01 A Unity feedback has a FP TF
α
G(s) =
(s + 2)(s + 3)(s + 7)
The CL system is operated with a PO of 10%
1. Determine α.
2. Is it possible to obtain ess for a step that is no more than than 20% using a Proportional controller
3. Is it possible to obtain a steady-state error for a step is no more than than 20% using a Lag compensator
4. Repeat Question 3 using a PI compensator.

Problem 2: A Unity feedback has a FP TF

1
G(s) =
(s + 4)3
1. Find the location of the dominant poles to yield a 1.6s settling time and an overshoot of 25
2. Design a Lead compensator to achieve the desired dominant pole location.
3. Find the location of other closed-loop poles for
4. Discuss the validity of your second-order approximation.

Problem 03: Repeat problem 3, but suing a PD compensator in Questions 2-4.

Problem 04: Th system below (input f (t): thrusters force, output x(t): position (m)) is placed into a
unity feedback control system, where m = 4kg, xd = 4m, xwall = 4.2m, the surface is frictionless.

Design a PD compensator with the constraints that the mass settles at xd is less than 2.5s and without
hitting the wall.
