Control System Design and Analysis - Revision
1. Consider a second-order system with the following transfer function.
100
𝐺 (𝑆 ) =
𝑆 2 + 6𝑆 + 25
a) Determine the natural frequency (ꞷn) and damping ratio (ζ) of the system.
b) Calculate the peak time (TP), percent overshot (%OS), and settling time (TS).
c) Sketch the step response of the system and label the key characteristics such as overshoot,
settling time, and rise time.
d) Discuss the significance of each characteristic (peak time, percent overshoot, settling time,
rise time) in the performance evaluation of a control system. How do these characteristics
affect the system's behavior and performance in real-world applications?
2. Convert the state and output equations shown below to a transfer function.
3. The forward transfer function of the closed loop control system shown in Figure 1 is
given below.
(𝑆 + 3)
𝐺 (𝑆 ) =
(𝑆 + 6)(𝑆 + 1)
a) Calculate the closed loop transfer function T(s).
b) Determine the poles and zeroes of the closed loop transfer function T(s).
c) Obtain the time domain response c(t) of the system for a unit step input.
d) Obtain the steady state error for a unit step input.

5. Find the closed-loop transfer function R(s)/ C(s) for the system described by the forward
transfer function.

i) Overdamped response
ii) Critically damped response
iii) Underdamped response
