Questions and Answers

What is the damping ratio of the second order system in the given example?

0.25

0.5 (correct)

0.75

What is the un-damped natural frequency of the second order system in the given example?

4 rad/sec

3 rad/sec

1 rad/sec

2 rad/sec (correct)

What is the general transfer function of a second order system?

C(s) = R(s) / (s + 2ζωn s + ωn2)

C(s) = R(s) / (s + 2ζωn + ωn2)

C(s) = R(s) / (s + ζωn + ωn2)

C(s) = R(s) / (s + ζωn s + ωn2) (correct)

Study Notes

Second-Order System Transfer Function

A general second-order system is characterized by the transfer function: C(s) = ωn² / (s² + 2ζωn s + ωn²)

Un-damped Natural Frequency (ωn)

ωn is the un-damped natural frequency of the second-order system
ωn is the frequency of oscillation of the system without damping

Damping Ratio (ζ)

ζ is the damping ratio of the second-order system
ζ is a measure of the degree of resistance to change in the system output

Example: Determining ωn and ζ

Given a second-order system transfer function: C(s) = 4 / (s² + 2s + 4)
By comparing with the general 2nd order transfer function, we can determine: ωn² = 4 => ωn = 2 rad/sec, and 2ζωn = 2 => ζωn = 1 => ζ = 0.5

System Poles

The two poles of the system are: -ωnζ ± ωn √(ζ² - 1)

System Categorization Based on ζ

According to the value of ζ, a second-order system can be categorized into four types:
Overdamped: when the system has two real distinct poles (ζ > 1)
