The function of a steel plate mill is to roll reheated slabs into plates of scheduled thickness and dimension [5, 10). The final products are of rectangular plane view shapes having a width of up to 3300 mm and a thickness of 180 mm. A

A unity feedback system has a nominal characteristic equation q(s) = s3 + 3s2 + 3s + 6 = 0. The coefficients vary as follows: 2 ? a2 ? 4, 1 ? a1 ? 4, 4 ? a0 ? 5. Determine whether the system is

Future astronauts may drive on the Moon in a pressurized vehicle that would have a range of 620 miles and could be used for missions of up to six months. Boeing Company engineers first analyzed the Apollo-era Lunar Roving Vehicle, and then designed the new

To minimize vibrational effects, a telescope is magnetically levitated. This method also eliminates friction in the azimuth magnetic drive system. The photo detectors for the sensing system require electrical connections. The system block diagram is shown. Design a PID controller so that the velocity error

A DC motor control system with unity feedback has the form. Select K1 and K2 so that the system response has a settling time (with a 2% criterion) less than 1 second and an overshoot less than 5% for a step input.

A unity feedback system is shown in Figure AP10.5. We want the step response of the system to have an overshoot of about 10% and a settling time (with a 2% criterion) of about 4 seconds. (a) Design a lead compensator Gc (s) to achieve

Consider again Example 10.12 when we wish to minimize the settling time of the system while requiring that K < 52. Determine the appropriate compensator that will minimize the settling time. Plot the system response.

A system has the form shown in Figure 10.22, with A lead compensator is used, with (a) Determine the overshoot and rise time for Gp (s) = 1 and for p = 3. (b) Select an appropriate value for p that will give an overshoot

The Manutec robot has large inertia and arm length resulting in a challenging control problem, as shown in Figure AP10.8(a). The block diagram model of the system is shown in Figure AP10.8(b).The plant dynamics are represented by The percentage overshoot for a step input should

A negative feedback control system has the loop transfer function (a) When T = 0.2 s, find K such that the phase margin is 40° using the margin function, (b) Obtain a plot of phase margin versus T for K as in part (a), with
