    Study Notes

    Control Systems

    • A closed-loop system is a system where the output is defined and has parameters like rise time, peak time, and settling time.

    Loop Paths

    • A '23 '24 loop is a closed path that originates and terminates on the same node, with no node being met twice along the path.
    • Non-touching loops are loops that do not have a common node.

    Mason's Rule

    • Mason's Rule is used to analyze and design control systems.

    Signal-Flow Graph

    • A signal-flow graph is a graphical representation of a control system.

    Transfer Function

    • The transfer function is a mathematical representation of a control system.
    • Zeros are the values of s that cause G(s) to become zero.
    • Poles are the values of s that cause G(s) to become infinite.
    • The transfer function can be written in zero-pole form.

    Time Response Analysis

    • The output response of a system is a sum of a forced response and a natural response.
    • The forced response is the system response to an external stimulus with zero initial conditions.
    • The natural response is the system response to initial conditions with all external forces set to zero.

    Standard Test Signals

    • Standard test signals are used to verify a design and observe the dynamic behavior of a system.
    • Examples of standard test signals include impulse, step, ramp, parabolic, and sinusoidal.

    First-Order Systems

    • A first-order system without zeroes is a unit step response.
    • The transient response of a first-order system can be classified into three types: overdamped, underdamped, and critically damped.

    Second-Order Systems

    • The general second-order transfer function is given as: $$\frac{K}{s^2 + 2\zeta\omega_n s + \omega_n^2}$$
    • The output time response of a second-order system is given as: $$c_1e^{(-\zeta\omega_n + \omega_d)t} + c_2e^{(-\zeta\omega_n - \omega_d)t}$$
    • The time specifications of a second-order system include rise time, peak time, percent overshoot, and settling time.

    Time Specifications

    • Rise time is the time required for the waveform to go from 0.1 to 0.9 of the final value.
    • Peak time is the time required to reach the first or maximum peak.
    • Percent overshoot is the amount that the waveform overshoots the steady-state, or final, value at the peak time.
    • Settling time is the time required for the transient's damped oscillations to reach and stay within 2% of the steady-state value.
