Sheet 1

This document contains 10 problems related to root locus analysis for control systems. The problems involve sketching root loci plots and determining closed-loop pole locations for various transfer functions representing plant and controller dynamics. Key aspects addressed include determining gain values for specified damping ratios, identifying characteristics of lead versus lag compensators, and demonstrating how instability can be addressed by adding zeros or modifying transfer functions. The instructor provides the problems to analyze root locus design and stability conditions for automatic control systems.

Sheet No. 1
1- Consider the following characteristic equations:
𝐾
a. 1 + 𝐾𝐺(𝑠)𝐻(𝑠) = 1 +
𝑠(𝑠+1)(𝑠+2)
𝐾(𝑠+9)
b. 1 + 𝐾𝐺(𝑠)𝐻(𝑠) = 1 +
𝑠(𝑠 2 +4𝑠+11)
- Sketch the root-locus plot and then determine the value of the K such that the
damping ratio (ζ) of a pair dominant complex-conjugate closed-loop poles is 0.5
and determine the these closed-loop poles.

2- Sketch the root-locus plot with positive feedback for the following characteristic
equations:
𝐾(𝑠 + 2)
1 − 𝐾𝐺(𝑠)𝐻(𝑠) = 1 −
(𝑠 + 3)(𝑠 2 + 2𝑠 + 2)

3- Sketch the root-locus with negative feedback for the conditional stable system as:
a.
C(s)
R(s) K (s 2 + 2s + 4)
+
- s(s + 4)(s + 6)(s 2 + 1.4s + 1)

b.
R(s) 2 K ( s + 1) C(s)
+
- s ( s + 5 )( s + 2 )
2

4- Sketch the root loci for the system shown below. Observe that for small or large
values of K the system is overdamped and for medium values of K it is
underdamped.
R(s) K ( s + 2 )( s + 3 ) C(s)
+
- s ( s + 1)

10- A control system with:


𝐾
1 + 𝐾𝐺(𝑠)𝐻(𝑠) = 1 + , 𝐻(𝑠) = 1
𝑠 2 (𝑠 + 1)
