SYSTEM STABILITY
Stability is a continuous or discrete-time system is determined

Typical Stable System
NOTE: The oscillations for the Unstable system increase without bound
Marginal Stability
If the system has some roots with real parts equal to zero,
but none with positive real parts
Unstable System
If the impulse response does not decay to zero, and If
bounded but certain other inputs produces unbounded

Routh-Hurwitz Criterion
Using Routh-Hurwitz method,
we can tell how many closed-loop
system poles are in:
The left half-plane,
In the right half-plane,
In on the jv-axis.
We can find the number of poles in each
16
The method requires two steps:
(1) Generate a data table called a Routh table
(2) interpret the Routh table to tell how many
closed-loop system poles are in the left half-
plane, the right half-plane, and on the jw-axis.
Advantage of Routh-Hurwitz over modern
calculators and computers:
The power of the method lies in design rather
than analysis. For example, if you have an
unknown parameter in the denominator of a
transfer function, it is difficult to determine via a
calculator the range of this parameter to yield
stability. One would probably rely
on trial and error to answer the Stability question.

Determine if control system in Figure 1 is stable or unstable.
Figure XX
SOLUTION:
The first step is to find the equivalent closed-loop system
and test the denominator of this function, not the given
forward transfer.

Table XX: Completed Routh table

Interpretation of Routh table
Rule:
If the closed-loop transfer function has all poles
in the left half of the s-plane, the system is stable.
Thus, a system is stable if there are no sign
changes in the first column of the Routh table.
For example, Table XX has two sign changes in
The first column. The first sign change occurs
from 1 in the s2 row to -72 in the s1 row.
The second occurs from -72 in the s1 row to 103
in the s0 row. Thus, the system of
Figure XX is unstable since two poles exist in
the right half-plane
22
Root Locus Techniques
Root locus:
It is a graphical presentation of the closed-loop poles
as a system parameter is varied
It is a powerful method of analysis and design for
stability and transient response
Uses:
The root locus can be used to describe qualitatively
the performance of a system as various parameters are
changed. For example, the effect of varying gain upon
percent overshoot, settling time, and peak time can be
vividly displayed. The qualitative description can then
be verified with quantitative analysis
The root locus also gives a graphical representation
of a system’s stability.

The root locus shows the changes in the
transient response as the gain,K, varies. First of
all, the poles are real for gains less than 25.
Thus, the system is over-damped.
