  1. Find the closed-loop characteristic equation of the system illustrated in Figure 1 when:

  2. G(s)=1s+1$$when$$H(s)=1,1s+2ands.
  3. G(s)=K(s+2)s(s2+s+1)$$when$$H(s)=s+1s+10.

Figure 1: A Closed Loop System
  1. A feedback control system has an open-loop transfer function

    G(s)=K(s+2)(s+1)(s5)

    and unity gain feedback. Find the values of K for which the system is closed-loop stable.

  1. A control system has the root-locus shown in Figure 2. Find the closed-loop poles, natural frequency ωn and gain K when the damping ratio ζ=0.0,0.1,0.5and1.0.

    What values of gain and damping ratio satisfy the constraints 2<ωn10 rads-1.

    Is it possible to satisfy the following constraints: rise-time Tr0,4 seconds and peak overshoot Mp0.2 (20%) by adjusting the forward loop gain only?

  1. Sketch the root-locus diagram for the system of Question 2. Find the value of the open-loop gain that yields closed-loop poles having ideal damping (ζ=1/2).

  1. For the system shown in Figure 1

    G(s)=1sT+1

    and

    H(s)=h.

    Find the steady-state step error of of the closed-loop system and determine its system type number. What is the system type number when h=1?

  1. A general second-order closed-loop control system has the transfer function

    Find suitable values of the parameters b1, b0, a1, and a0 that provide rise-time Tr0.1 s, settling-time Ts0.5 s, peak-overshoot %OS20%, zero steady-state step error and a ramp error of 0.01.
