Here is the transfer function for a system to control.
G(s) = 4(s + 0.5)/(s3
+ 11s2 + 25.25s + 65.25)
This open loop system
has three poles: -1 + j2.5, -1 - j2.5, -9
The open loop system
has one zero: -0.5
The system is being
controlled in a feedback system as shown above at the right.
Here is the root locus for the system.
-
Determine the gain, K,
that will produce the minimum overshoot in the system by finding the gain
for the largest damping ratio in the complex roots.
-
Estimate where the third
pole is for the gain found in the first part.
