1. What are three primary objectives of control system analysis and design?

B Producing the desired transient response

B Reducing steady-state errors

B Achieving stability

2. Name three reason for using feedback control systems!

B Greater accuracy

B Less sensitive to noise, disturbances, and changes in the environment

B Transient response and steady-state error can be controlled more conveniently and with greater flexibility

3. Write the corresponding differential equation of the following transfer function

Y (s) 15
=
R (s) (s + 8) (s + 11)

Y (s) 15
=
R (s) s2 + 19s + 88
s2 Y (s) + 19sY (s) + 88Y (s) = 15R (s)

B Taking the Inverse Laplace transform of both sides

d2 y dy
2
+ 19 + 88y = 15r (t)
dt dt

4. A system is described by the following differential equation

d2 x dx
+ 2 + 3x = f (t)
dt2 dt
assuming zero initial condition, find the transfer function G (s) = X(s)
F(s)

B Taking the Laplace transform of both sides

s2 X (s) + 2sX (s) + 3X (s) = F (s)

 
s2 + 2s + 3 X (s) = F (s)

X (s) 1
G (s) = =
F (s) s2 + 2s + 3

5. Find the transfer function G (s) = Xo (s)

Xi (s) for the suspension model shown in Figure below!

m xo

k (xo xi ) b ( xo xi )

m xo + b ( xo xi ) + k (xo xi ) = 0
ms2 Xo (s) + b (sXo (s) sXi (s)) + k (Xo (s) Xi (s)) = 0
ms2 Xo (s) + bsXo (s) + kXo (s) = bsXi (s) + kXi (s)
 
ms2 + bs + k Xo (s) = (bs + k) Xi (s)
Xo (s) bs + k
=
Xi (s) ms2 + bs + k
