Figure 6.103: Control system for Problem 67
Problems and Solutions for Section 6.9
67. A feedback control system is shown in Fig.6.103. The closed-loop system
is specified to have an overshoot of less than 30% to a step input.
(a) Determine the corresponding PM specification in the frequency do-
main and the corresponding closed-loop resonant peak value Mr. (See
Fig. 6.37)
(b) From Bode plots of the system, determine the maximum value of K
that satisfies the PM specification.
(c) Plot the data from the Bode plots (adjusted by the Kobtained in
part (b)) on a copy of the Nichols chart in Fig. 6.81 and determine the
resonant peak magnitude Mr. Compare that with the approximate
value obtained in part (a).
(d) Use the Nichols chart to determine the resonant peak frequency !r
and the closed-loop bandwidth.
Solution :
(a) From Fig. 6.37 :
(c) The Nichols chart below shows that Mr= 1:5which agrees exactly
with the prediction from Fig. 6.37:
