1. (a) Consider the system
You may assume that β is a parameter that is allowed to vary in the range
β ∈ [0.25, . . . , 1.5]
i. Determine the natural frequency of oscillation ωn for this system. 2

Your answer should briefly sketch the typical step responses that you
would expect to observe. 7
(b) This question concerns the locus of the roots of the characteristic equation
for the closed loop system described by Figure 1.
i. Determine equations for the asymptotes to the locus as K → ∞. 2
ii. What are the departure angles for the locus as it leaves the complex
open loop poles? 3
iii. Assume that one feasible multiple root (accurate to 1 decimal place)
exists for this locus at s = ?4.8 and that two infeasible multiple roots
exist at s = ?1.8 ± ?1.3.
Determine the other feasible multiple root location for this locus. 8
iv. Sketch the root locus for this system. 3

2. This question considers the D.C Motor
System performance is to be improved using the following controller.
K(s) = 50(s + 3)(s + 7)
(a) Derive a bound on the Phase Margin of a system in terms of its worst case
system sensitivity kSk∞. 6
(b) Draw a system sensitivity plot, S(?ω), for this combination of plant and
controller.
Your answer should compute S(?ω) at
ω = [0, 14, 23, 50,∞] rads
You may assume that kSk∞ = ks(?23)k. 8
(c) Describe how bounds on Phase Margin, Steady state error, 5% settling
time and Bandwidth can be read from the S(?ω) you have computed in
Part (b) of this question. 6
(d) Estimate the 5% settling time for this design to a step input demand.
Briefly describe how you would use MATLAB to construct S(?ω) and to
observe the step response for this particular design.
Your answer should sketch an indicative step response for this system. 5

3. This questions considers Nyquist based tuning for the following system :-
2s + 8
(s + 1)(s + 3)((s + 2)2 + 5)
(a) Using the following frequency vectorω ∈ [0, 1.25, 3.3, . . . ,∞]
draw a Nyquist diagram for this system. 10
(b) Use your diagram to estimate the system phase and gain margins. 3
(c) Using your Nyquist diagram, design a PID controller, K(s), for this system
that is tuned for good low frequency performance. You may assume that
the following tuning rules are appropriate :-
KP = 0.4 × Ku
where Ku is the limit cycle gain with the application of proportional only
control and
TI = 1.0 × Tu
TD = 0.25 × Tu
where Tu is the corresponding limit cycle period. 7
(d) How would you improve the speed of response of your design using Phase
Lead methods?
Please note that an exact design is NOT required, it is sufficient to provide
the design steps that you would take. 5

4. This question considers the system shown in Figure 3. Denote the state variables
for this system as x1 = VC(t) x2 = iL(t). The following describing equations
for the system may be useful.

the continuous state and output equation. 8
(c) Design a State feedback controller that will place the closed loop poles for
this system at ?2 ± 0.2?.

5. This question concerns the following system that you have studied extensively
during your Laboratory work this semester
(a) What type of problem does this system model and why is it such a difficult
problem to control? 3

your design. 14
