F23 HW5 v231015

This homework assignment involves analyzing control systems using Bode plots and the Bode stability criterion. Students are asked to: 1) Calculate amplitude ratio and phase angle for various transfer functions and sketch Bode plots by hand. 2) Analyze a proportional control loop, estimating and calculating the phase crossover frequency and gain required for stability. 3) Determine the range of stabilizing controller gains for a standard feedback loop using Bode plots and calculations.

F23 ChEn 4601 HW5

Assigned: Wk7 Mon Due: Wk8 Mon

1. Use the G(jω) approach to calculate AR (amplitude ratio) and φ (phase angle) for the ultimate
sinusoidal response of the following transfer functions. (You can check your answer against the
formulas given in Table 9.1).
(a) G(s) = 1/(τs+1)

(b) G(s) = τs+1 (note: we’ll describe soon that this is not a “proper” transfer function on its own–
we’ll usually see it in combination with other parts)
(c) G(s) = 1/s

2. Consider the following transfer functions. We will be interested in the ultimate sinusoidal response
of each.

(a) 𝐺(𝑠) = 1/{(𝑠+1)(0.32𝑠+1)(0.1𝑠+1)}

(b) 𝐺(𝑠) = (100𝑠+1)/(10𝑠+1)2

(c) 𝐺(𝑠)=(−100𝑠+1)/(10𝑠+1)2

For each one of them:


● Use and combine the formulas in Table 9.1 to write explicit formulas for AR and φ.
● Determine corner frequencies that determine the different frequency regions you’ll need for
straight-line-approximation segments in the AR and φ plots (following the approach shown in
section 9.3).
● Sketch the Bode plot by hand.
3. A process with transfer function Gp(s) = Gd(s) = 1/(0.1s+1)3 is will be controlled with a
proportional controller (Gc= Kc ) as shown below. Gm(s) = Gv(s) = 1 (and km = 1).

Here we’ll practice some of the tasks where the Bode diagram will help us in the stability analysis
of this control loop.

When we use the “Bode stability criterion”, we will use the AR and φ of the “open loop transfer function”
- For this loop, that will be L(s) = km Gc Gv Gp Gm

A) Make a hand-drawn sketch of the Bode plot for L(s), assuming (to start with) that Kc = 1.

B) Use the plot from (A) to estimate the value of ω where the phase has reached – π radians (-180
degrees). Check your estimate with exact calculation. (We will see shortly that this is called the
phase crossover frequency, ωp.)

C) i) Now estimate from the plot (and confirm with calculation) the value of AR(ωp).
ii) Remember in part A, we had assumed Kc = 1. Now calculate what value of Kc that
would make AR(ωp)=1.
4. Consider a standard feedback loop with the following transfer functions:
Gc = Kc, Gv = 1, Gm =1/(1s+1), Gp =1/(5s+1).

Determine the range of controller gain that guarantees closed-loop stability using the Bode stability
criterion.
(a) Make an estimate using a hand-drawn approximate sketch of the Bode diagram
(b) Check your estimate using exact calculation of phase angle and amplitude ratio.
