Chapter 4 Time Response
POLES,ZEROS,AND SYSTEM RESPONSE The output  response   of a system is the sum of two responses: the  forced response  and  natural response The concept of poles and zeros , fundamental to the analysis and design of control systems, simplifies the evaluation of a system’s response.
POLES OF TRANSFER FUNCTION The poles of transfer function are The value of Laplace transform variable, s, that cause the transfer function become infinite. Or Any roots of the denominator of the transfer function that are common to roots of the numerator.
ZEROS OF A TRANSFER FUNCTION The zeros of a transfer function are the values of the Laplace transform variable,  s,  that cause the transfer function to become zero. Any roots of the numerator of the transfer function that are common to roots of denominator
POLES AND ZEROS OF A FIRST-ORDER SYSTEM Given the function  G(s)  a pole exists at s= -5 and a zero exists at-2. These values are plotted on the complex s-plane, using an x for the pole and 0 for the zero. =
From the example, we draw the following conclusion. 1. A pole of the input functions generate the form of the  forced response  (that is, the pole at the origin generated a step function at t5he output). 2. A pole of the transfer function generates the form of the  natural response  (that is, the pole at -5 generated e^-5t). 3. The pole on the real axis generates an  exponential  response  of the form e^-at where –a is the pole location on the real axis. 4. The zeros and poles generate the  amplitudes  for both the forced and natural responses.

FIRST ORDER SYSTEMS A first order systems without zeros can be described by the transfer function shown in the figure4.4(a). If the input is a unit step, where R(s)=1/s, the Laplace transform of the step response is C(s), where . Taking the inverse transform, the step response given by

TIME CONSTANT We. The  call 1/a the time constant of the response. The time constant can be described as the time for  to decay to 37%.of its initial value. reciprocal of the time constant has the units (1/seconds), or frequency. Thus we call the parameter a the exponential frequency RISE TIME Tr defined as the time for the waveform to go from 0.1 to 0.9 of its initial value. Rise time is found by solving Eq. 4.6 for the difference in time at c(t)= 0.9 and c(t)= 0.1 SETTLING TIME Ts settling time is defined as the time for the response to reach and stay within 2% of its final value. Letting c(t)= 0.98 in eq. 4.6 and solving the time t, we find the settling time to be

SECOND ORDER SYSTEMS Second order system exhibits a wide range of responses that must be analyzed and described. Whereas  varying a first order system's parameter simply changes the speed of response, changes in the parameters of a second order system can change the  form  of the response. For example a second order system can display characteristics much like a first order system or depending on component values, display damped or pure oscillations for its transient response.

OVERDAMPED RESPONSE (4.7b) UNDERDAMPED RESPONSE (4.7c) This function has a pole at the origin that comes from the unit step input and two complex poles that come from the system.
Figure 4.8 Second-order step response  components generated by complex poles
Figure 4.9 System for Example 4.2
Solution: First determine that the form of the forced response is a step. Next we find the form of the natural response. Factoring the denominator of the transfer function, we find the poles to be s=- 5 ± j13.23. The real part -5, is the exponential frequency for the damping. It is also the reciprocal of the time constant of the decay of the oscillations. The imaginary part, 13.23, is the radian frequency for the sinusoidal oscillations
UNDAMPED RESPONSE (4.7d)   This function has a pole at the origin that  comes from the unit step input and two imaginary poles that come from the system. The input pole at the origin generates the constant forced response and the two system poles on the imaginary axis at ±j3 generate a natural response  whose frequency is equal to the location of the imaginary poles. Hence the output can be estimated as c(t)=K1+K4 cos(3t-ø). CRITICALLY UNDAMPED RESPONSE (4.7e) This function has a pole at the origin that  comes from the unit step input and two multiple real poles that come from the system. The input pole at the origin generates the constant forced response and the two poles on the real axis at -3 generate a natural response consisting of an exponential and an exponential multiplied by time where the exponential frequency is equal to the location of  real poles. Hence the output can
