Lab 5: Analysis and Design using Root-locus

Due: Sunday, 28 May 2023 (In class)
Do the following problems from Feedback Control (7th edition) by Franklin/Powell/Emami

Part A: System analysis using Root-locus

Problem 1 – 5: Apply rules 1, 2, 3, 4. Do it by hand first, later you can use Matlab to check
your answer.

1) 5.4 (a)

2) 5.5 (d)

3) 5.6 (c)

4) 5.7 (d)

5) 5.8 (f)

Part B: Controller design using Root-locus (Matlab will be useful to solve these
problems)

6) 5.13

7) (This is problem 5.24 in the textbook. I modified the text to provide context.)

The transfer function of a satellite attitude system is 𝐺(𝑠) = 1/𝑠 ! . We would like to
design an attitude-hold control system, such that given a command the satellite will
change attitude to the commanded orientation. Refer to Fig. 2.8 in the textbook.

Assume 𝐺(𝑠) is in a unity feedback system as shown in Fig. 5.53. Design a lead
#$%
compensation 𝐷" (𝑠) = 𝑘 #$& so that the poles of the closed-loop system are located at
𝑠 = −2 ± 2𝑗.

a) In Matlab, plot the Root-locus using the controller you designed. What is the gain
k, damping ratio x and overshoot Mp at 𝑠 = −2 ± 2𝑗? What is the effect on the
damping ratio x and overshoot Mp as the gain is increased or decreased?
b) Plot the step response of the feedback system with the controller you designed.
What is the settling time ts and overshot Mp?

8) 5.25
