ENGR3350U Practice Problems (October 15, 2012)

Control Systems Fall 2012

Note: a) First, go through all the lecture notes, book chapters, and worked examples. b) Then try to practice on the all the tutorials and assignments problems. c) Finally, solve the suggested practice problems in order to prepare yourself for the midterm exam. Good luck, Prof. E. EsmailZadeh
PP #1 - Find the function f(t) of the followings, and their magnitudes for very large time. (a) (b)

F (s)

F (s)

1 s ( s 2) 2

PP #2 A low-inertia x-y plotter is represented by the following block diagram. The input,

R(s) is set as a non-unit ramp function. (a) Find the output position response, y(t). (b) What would be the steadystate error? (c) Select a value for K that will result in zero overshoot to a step input.

PP #3 A negative unity feedback system has the forward path transfer function of:

2( s 8) s( s 4) (a) Determine the closed-loop transfer function, T(s) = Y(s) / R(s). (b) Find the time response, y(t), for a step input of r(t) = A for t > 0. (c) Using the final-value theorem, determine the steady-state value of the output, y(t). (d) Determine the maximum overshoot of the response. G( s)

PP #4 Determine the stability for the systems with the closedloop transfer functions of

T (s)

PP #5 The block diagram of a control system is shown below. Develop the statespace

equations for the system and find the closed-loop transfer function, T(s) = Y(s) / U(s).

PP #6 Find the number of poles in the left half-plane, the right half-plane, and on the j -

axis for the system shown in the figure below.

PP #7 Find the steadystate error, for the system, shown in the figure shown below, if the 1 input is a ramp function t (its Laplace transform is 2 ). s

Explain the type of this system (i.e., Type 0, or 1, or 2, ..).
