    Tutorial 6
    1. The control of the spark ignition of an automotive engine requires constant performance over a wide range
    of parameters. The control system is shown in figure:1 with a controller gain , K to be selected. The
    parameter p is equal to 2 for many autos but can be equal zero for those with high performance. Select a
    gain K that will result in a stable system for both values of p.

    2. Use Routh Hurwitz criterion to determine the stability of the following systems represented by their cor-
    responding characteristic equations.
    In case the system is unstable, determine the number of roots of the characteristic equation on the right
    half of s-plane. Or in case the system is marginally stable, determine the location of the roots on the
    imaginary axis.

    (a) s5 + s4 + 2s3 + 2s2 + 3s + 5 (b) s6 + 3s5 + 5s4 + 9s3 + 8s2 + 6s + 4


    3. The open loop transfer function of an unity feedback system is given by
    4
    G(s) =
    s(s2 + as + 2b)

    Find the value of a and b such that the system is marginally stable and oscillates with a frequency of 4
    rad/sec.
    4. Consider the feedback control system in Figure(2)

    Figure 2:

    (a) Using the RH criterion, determine the range of KI resulting in closed-loop stability.
    (b) Plot the pole locations as a function of 0 < KI < 30 in matlab and comment on the results.
    (Hint: use ’for’ function to vary the gain KI in the closed loop transfer function. find the poles of

    1
    closed loop system using function ’pole’ then plot(real(),imag(),’x’), ’x’ denote symbol for pole(you
    can use anything) )

    5. A teleoperated control system incorporates both a person (operator) and a remote machine. The normal
    teleoperation system is based on a one-way link to the machine and limited feedback to the operator.
    However, two-way coupling using bilateral information exchange enables better operation. In the case of
    remote control of a robot, force feedback plus position feedback is useful. The characteristic equation for
    a teleoperated system, as shown in figure: 3 is,
    s4 + 20s3 + K1 s2 + 4s + K2 = 0,
    where K1 , and K2 are feedback gain factors. Determine and plot the region of stability for this system
    for K1 and K2

    6. The open loop transfer function of a unity feedback control system is given by
    K(s + 1)
    G(s) =
    s(1 + T s)(1 + 2s)
    Determine the region in which the closed-loop system is stable by taking K on x-axis and T on y-axis.
    7. The schematic diagram of RC phase shift oscillator is shown in figure 4

    Figure 4: RC phase shift oscillator

    The circuit will oscillate if it is designed to have poles on the jω-axis


    (a) Show that the transfer function for the passive network in the circuit is given by
    V2 (s) 1
    = 1 1 2 2
    V1 (s) (1 + sRC )(2 + sRC ) −3− sRC

    (b) Show that the oscillator’s characteristic equation is given by


    1
    1+K 1 1 2 2 =0
    (1 + sRC )(2 + sRC ) −3− sRC
    R2
    where K = R1

    2
    (c) Use the Routh-Hurwitz criterion to obtain the oscillation condition and the oscillation frequency.
    8. The open loop transfer function with unity feedback control is given by

    K(s − a)
    G(s) =
    s(s − b)

    Find the range of K for closed loop stability for the following cases:
    (a) a < 0, b < 0
    (b) a < 0, b > 0
    (c) a > 0, b < 0
    (d) a > 0, b > 0
    9. Consider the system shown in Figure 5, where K is a proportional controller. Determine the range of
    values of K so that the impulse response of the system decays faster than e−2t .
    Hint: The rate of decay of the impulse response depends only on the real parts of the poles of the
    closed-loop system.

    u(t) + K 1
    y(t)
    s(s2 +10s+29)
    −
