Assigned: March 7, 2008 Due: March 14, 2008

Problem1:

(a)

Use the voltage division rule :



(b)

Problem2: (ModifiedfromProblemSet4.)

All the calculations of this problem are carried out by attached MATLAB code.

(a)

In the above relations h is the flywheel thickness and Df = .3 m and Dr = .05 m
are the flywheel/shaft diameters. The J of shaft can be similarly computed and found
to be equal to 0.024 Kg.m2. The shaft inertia is an order of magnitude smaller than
flywheel inertia and for our simple model we ignore it.

(b) Assume that B1 = B2 = B anddefine 1 and 2:

(c) For the open loop system the steady state output for a unit step is equal to G(0) =
From this plot the “rise-time” is estimated to be equal to3.58−.163 =3.427
sec.

(d) From the plot the “rise-time” is estimated to be equal to .0761−.00328 =0.0728 sec.

(e) The proportional control has increased the rise time substantially. The rise time can be
related to ωn which can be computed from the transfer function:

For the open loop system   while for the closed
and hence K
has a huge effect on the rise time.

Problem3:

A linear graph model of the system is shown above and then ode equations are derived below.
The two masses represent inertial forces of the tugboat and the barge. Since usually mt is
very smaller than mb, we can ignore the tugboat mass to further simplify the model. The K
stiffness represents the cable elasticity and Bt and Bb represent water drags on tugboat and
barge. This system has three independent energy storage elements and transfer functions
like   are third orders. The attached MATLAB code computes the Vtand Vb and
proves that our transfer functions would be third orders.

MATLAB Command− line :

>> syms mt mb Bt Bb K F Vt Vb s real >> eq1=(mt*s^2+Bt*s+K)*Vt-K*Vb-F*s;
>> eq2=(mb*s^2+Bb*s+K)*Vb-K*Vt;
>> [Vb,Vt]= solve (eq1,eq2,Vb,Vt)

Vb =

K*F/(mt*mb*s^3+s^2*mt*Bb+s*Bt*Bb+s*mt*K+s*K*mb+s^2*Bt*mb+Bt*K+K*Bb)

Vt =

 (mb*s^2+Bb*s+K)*F/(mt*mb*s^3+s^2*mt*Bb+s*Bt*Bb+s*mt*K+s*K*mb+s^2*Bt*mb+Bt*K+K*Bb)

Problem4:

(a) Vm is defined as the absolute velocity:

(b) There are two independent energy storage elements: one is the mass inertia (requiring
to know Vm) and the other is the spring (requiring to know xm - xcase). The two
springs act in parallel and are dependent.

(c) The mesh equation for a single loop would be the same as the voltage division rule :

Voltage Divider:


Problem5:

We have two energy storage elements, but in general  the order of system should be one. This 
means that our energy storage elements are dependent and that’s true be cause if we know the
 voltage of one capacitor, the voltage of the other capacitor is know as well
Furthermore, for this particular given values of parameters the order of system is zero due
to a zero-pole cancellation.
