A root locus for the system is shown A Use the Routh method
A root locus for the system is shown.
A: Use the Routh method to find the gain which makes the system marginally stable.
B: We will assume the closed loop poles with bigger wn are dominant. Find K to make the closed loop damping = 0.3
C: From your root locus, what is the closed loop transfer function in factored form? One pair of complex poles has real part -1.11.
D: What is the rise time: What is the steady state error to r(t)=t2?
Solution
A)
For the givan G(s)
characteristic equation is S4-S3(K-1)+KS2+11KS+6K
Routh method
S4 1 K 6K
S3 (K-1) 11K 0
S2 K2-12K/K-1 6K
S ( (K2-12K/K-1)11K-6K2+6)/(K2-12K/K-1))
S0 6K
if the system is marginally stable first element should be zero
K2-12K/K-1 =0
K=12
-For the marginally stable system K=12
