Homework #5: Controller Design in Time-Domain I

Problem 1 [Control Tutorials]: DC Motor Position:

A common actuator in control systems is the DC motor. It directly provides rotary motion and,
coupled with wheels or drums and cables, can provide translational motion. For this system with and
without MATLAB [mfile and SIMULINK]:
Derive the equations of motion.
Derive the transfer function.
Determine the system stability.
Determine the steady state error for a unite step input and unit step load disturbance.
Get the 1-radian step response.
Design a suitable controller to achieve the following objectives.
o Settling time less than 0.040 seconds.
o Overshoot less than 16%.
o No steady-state error, even in the presence of a step disturbance input.
Check the achievement of your objectives in case of 1-radian step response and different level
of disturbances.

Homework #5: Controller Design in Time-Domain I

Problem 3 [Ogata 5thed, B522]:

Consider the closed-loop system shown. Determine the range of K for stability. Assume that K>0.

Problem 4 [Ogata 5thed, B526]:

Consider a unity-feedback control system with the closed-loop transfer function

Determine the open-loop transfer function G(s).

Show that the steady-state error in the unit-ramp response is given by:
