Mathematical Models of Linear Systems By: CIT, Gubbi.
A physical system is a collection of physical objects connected together to serve an objective. An idealized physical system is called a Physical model. Once a physical model is obtained, the next step is to obtain Mathematical model. When a mathematical model is solved for various i/p conditions, the result represents the dynamic behavior of the system. An al og ou s System:
The concept of analogous system is very useful in practice. Since one type of system may be easier to handle experimentally than another. A given electrical system consisting of resistance, inductance & capacitances may be analogous to the mechanical system consisting of suitable combination of Dash pot, Mass & Spring. The advantages of electrical systems are, 1. 2.
Many circuit theorems, impedance conc epts can be applicable. An Electrical engineer familiar with electrical systems can easily analyze the system under study & can predict the behavior of the system. 3. The electrical analog system is easy to handle experimentally. Translational System:
It has 3 types of forces due to elements. 1. Inertial Force: Due to inertial mass,

Transfer Functions By: CIT, Gubbi.
The input- output relationship in a linear time invariant system is defined by the transfer function.
The features of the transfer functions are, (1) It is applicable to Linear Time Invariant system. (2) It is the ratio between the Laplace Transform of the o/p variable to the Laplace Transform of the i/p variable. (3) It is assumed that initial conditions are zero. (4) It is independent of i/p excitation. (5) It is used to obtain systems o/p response. An equation describing the physical system has integrals & differentials, the step involved in obtaining the transfer function are; (1) Write the differential equation of the system.
by ‘S’ &
(2)
Replace the terms
by 1/S.
(3)
Eliminate all the variables except the desired variables. Impulse Response of the Linear System:
G(S)
R(S)
C(S)
In a control system, when there is a single i/p of unit impulse function, then there will be some response of the Linear System. The Laplace Transform of the i/p will be R(S) = 1
G(S) =
. .1
1
i.e., the Laplace Transform of the system o/p will be simply the ‘Transfer function’ of the system. Taking L-1
Here G(t) will be impulse response of the Linear System. This is called Weighing Function. Hence LT of the impulse response is the Transfer function of the system itself.

Signal Flow Graphs By: CIT, Gubbi.
For complicated systems, Block diagram reduction method becomes tedious & time consuming. An alternate method is that signal flow graphs developed by S.J . Mason. In these graphs, each node represents a system variable & each branch connected between two nodes acts as Signal Multiplier. The direction of signal flow is indicated by an arrow.
Definitions: 1. Node: A nodeis a point representing a variable. 2. Transmittance: A transmittance is a gain between two nodes. 3. Branch: A branch is a line joining two nodes. The signal travels along a branch. 4. Input node [Source]: It is a node which has only out going signals. 5. Output node [Sink]: It is a node which is having only incoming signals. 6. Mixed node: It is a node which has both incoming & outgoing branches (signals). 7. Path: It is thetraversal of connected branches in the direction of branch arrows. Such that no node is traversed more than once. 8. Loop: It is a closed path. 9. Loop Gain: It is theproduct of the branch transmittances of a loop. 10. Non-Touching Loops: Loops are Non-Touching, if they do not possess any common node. 11. Forward Path: It is a path fromi/p node to the o/p node which doesn’t cross any node more than once. 12. Forward Path Gain: It is the product of branch transmittances of a forward path. MASON’S GAIN FORMULA:
The relation between the i/p variable & the o/p variable of a signal flow graphs is given by the net gain between the i/p & the o/p nodes and is known as Overall gain of the system. Mason’s gain formula for the determination of overall systemgain is given by, Where,

System Stability By: CIT, Gubbi.
While considering the performance specification in the control system design, the essential & desirable requirement will be the system stability. This means that the system must be stable at all times during operation. Stability may be used to define the usefulness of the system. Stability studies include absolute & relative stability. Absolute stability is the quality of stable or unstable performance. Relative Stability is the quantitative study of stability. The stability study is based on the properties of the TF. In the analysis, the characteristic equation is of importance to describe the transient response of the system. Fromthe roots of the characteristic equation, some of the conclusions drawn will be as follows, (1) When all the roots of the characteristic equation lie in the left half of the S-plane, the system response due to initial condition will decrease to zero at time Thus the system will be termed as stable. (2) When one or more roots lie on the imaginary axis & there are no roots on the RHS of Splane, the response will be oscillatory without damping. Such a systemwill be termed as critically stable. (3) When one or more roots lie on the RHS of S-plane, the response will exponentially increase in magnitude; there by the systemwill be Unstable. Some of the Definitions of stability are, (1) A system is stable, if its o/p is bounded for any bounded i/p.
(2) A system is stable, if it‟s response to a bounded disturbing signal vanishes ultimately as time „t‟ approaches infinity. (3) A system is unstable, if it‟s response to a bounded disturbing signal results in an o/p of infinite amplitude or an Oscillatory signal. (4) If the o/p response to a bounded i/p signal results in constant amplitude or constant amplitude oscillations, then the system may be stable or unstable under some limited constraints. Such a systemis called Limitedly Stable system. (5) If a system response is stable for a limited range of variation of its parameters, it is called Conditionally Stable System. (6) system.
If a systemresponse is stable for all variation of its parameters, it is called Absolutely Stable
Routh-Hurwitz Criteria:
A designer has so often to design the systemthat satisfies certain specifications. In general, a system before being put in to use has to be tested for its stability. Routh-Hurwitz stability criteria may be used. This criterion is used to know about the absolute stability. i.e., no extra information can be obtained regarding improvement. As per Routh-Hurwitz criteria, the necessary conditions for a systemto be stable are, (1) None of the co-efficient‟of the Characteristic equation should be missing or zero. (2) All the co-efficient‟ should be real & should have the same sign.

System Stability A sufficient condition for a systemto be stable is that each & every term of the column of the Routh array must be positive or should have the same sign. Routh array can be obtained as follows. The Characteristic equation is of the form, ……………………… Where, 0 0

Similarly wecan evaluate rest of the elements,
The following are the limitations of Routh-Hurwitz stability criteria, (1) It is valid only if the Characteristic equation is algebraic. (2) If any co-efficient of the Characteristic equation is complex or contains power of „ ‟, this criterion cannot be applied. (3) It gives information about how many roots are lying in the RHS of S-plane; values of the roots are not available. Also it cannot distinguish between real & complex roots. Special cases in Routh-Hurwitz criteria:
(1) When the termin a row is zero, but all other terms are non-zeroes then substitute a small positive number for zero & proceed to evaluate the rest of the elements. When the column term is zero, it means that there is an imaginary root. (2) All zero row: In the case, write auxiliary equation from preceding row, differentiate this equation & substitute all zero row by the co-efficient‟ obtained by differentiating the auxiliary equation. This case occurs when the roots are in pairs. The systemis limitedly stable. Problems: C OMMENT ON THE STABILITY OF THE SYSTEM WHOSE CHARACTERISTIC EQUATION IS GIVEN BELOW :

Root Locus Plots By: CIT, Gubbi.
It gives complete dynamic response of the system. It provides a measure of sensitivity of roots to the variation in the parameter being considered. It is applied for single as well as multiple loop system. It can be defined as follows, It is the plot of the loci of the root of the complementary equation when one or more parameters of the open-loop Transfer function are varied, mostly the only one variable available is the gain ‘K’ The negative gain has no physical significance hence varying ‘K’ from ‘0’ to ‘ ∞’ , the plot is obtained called the “Root Locus Point”. Rules for the Construction of Root Locus
(1) The root locus is symmetrical about the real axis. (2) The no. of branches terminating on ‘ ∞’ equals the no. of open-loop pole-zeroes. (3) Each branch of the root locus originates from an open-loop pole at ‘K = 0’ & terminates at open-loop zero corresponding to ‘K = ∞’. (4) A point on the real axis lies on the locus, if the no. of open-loop poles & zeroes on the real axis to the right of this point is odd. (5) The root locus branches that tend to ‘ ∞’, do so along the straight line. 0

(8) The intersection of the root locus branches with the imaginary axis can be determined by the use of Routh Hurwitz criteria or by putting ‘ ’ in the characteristic equation & equating the real part and imaginary to zero. To solve for ‘’ & ‘K’ i.e., the value of ‘’ is intersection point on the imaginary axis & ‘K’ is the value of gain at the intersection point.

Bode Plots By: CIT, Gubbi.
Sinusoidal transfer function is commonly represented by Bode Plot. It is a plot of magnitude against frequency. i.e., angle of transfer function against frequency. The following are the advantages of Bode Plot, (1) Plotting of Bode Plot is relatively easier as compared to other methods. (2) Low & High frequency characteristics can be represented on a single diagram. (3) Study of relative stability is easier as parameters of analysis of relativestability are gain & phase margin which are visibly seen on sketch. (4) If modification of an existing systemis to be studied, it can be easily doneon a Bode Plot. Initial Magnitude:
