The task involves deriving the transfer function of a mass-spring-damper system from its differential equation, analyzing its dynamic response to a step input, and performing block reduction and response analysis using MATLAB. This comprehensive approach aids in understanding the system's behavior and how to manipulate it for control purposes.

Derivation of Differential Equation for a Mass-Spring-Damper System

Consider a classical mass-spring-damper system where a mass m is attached to a spring with stiffness k and a damper with damping coefficient c. The free-body diagram illustrates the forces acting on the mass: the restoring force from the spring (−k x(t)), the damping force (−c ẋ(t)), and any external force applied (F(t)). Applying Newton's second law, the differential equation governing the motion is:

m ẍ(t) + c ẋ(t) + k x(t) = F(t)

This second-order linear differential equation relates the input force F(t) to the displacement x(t). For control systems analysis, it is customary to take the Laplace transform assuming zero initial conditions, resulting in:

m s² X(s) + c s X(s) + k X(s) = F(s)

Rearranging to obtain the transfer function from input force F(s) to output displacement X(s), we get:

Transfer Function G(s) = X(s)/F(s) = 1 / (m s² + c s + k)

Assuming numerical values for mass, damping, and spring constants, say m=1 kg, c=3 Ns/m, and k=10 N/m, the transfer function becomes:

G(s) = 1 / (s² + 3 s + 10)

This transfer function characterizes the dynamic relationship of the system to external forces.

Analysis of the System Response to a Step Input

Applying a step input F(t) = 1 u(t), where u(t) is the unit step function, the Laplace transform is F(s) = 1/s. The system output (displacement) is therefore:

X(s) = G(s) * F(s) = 1 / (s (s² + 3 s + 10))

To analyze the system response, we perform partial fraction decomposition and inverse Laplace transform, which reveals the transient behavior characterized by overshoot, settling time, and rise time. Using MATLAB, these parameters can be computed accurately, providing insights into system stability and performance.

Maximum Overshoot, Rise Time, and Settling Time

For the given parameters, the characteristic equation is:

s² + 3 s + 10 = 0

which has complex conjugate roots indicating an underdamped system. The damping ratio (ζ) and natural frequency (ωn) are computed as:

  • ωn = √(k/m) = √10 ≈ 3.16 rad/sec
  • ζ = c / (2 √(m k)) = 3 / (2 * 3.16) ≈ 0.474

The maximum overshoot (M_p) is given by:

M_p = exp(-ζ π / √(1 - ζ²)) ≈ 0.183 or 18.3%

The rise time (from 10% to 90% of the final value) is approximately:

t_r ≈ (π - θ) / ωd, where θ = arccos(ζ) and ωd = ωn √(1−ζ²). Calculations yield a rise time around 0.55 seconds.

The settling time (within 2% tolerance) is approximately:

t_s ≈ 4 / (ζ ωn) ≈ 4 / (0.474 * 3.16) ≈ 2.67 seconds

These analytical results are verified through MATLAB simulations for step responses.

Using MATLAB for Block Reduction and Response Analysis

In MATLAB, the transfer function can be created with:

sys = tf([1], [1 3 10]);

Block reduction simplifies the system configuration; for example, combining multiple blocks with feedback or series connections. MATLAB's connect and minreal functions facilitate this process. The step response is obtained with:

step(sys);

By analyzing the step response plot, the maximum overshoot, rise time, and settling time are identified, confirming theoretical calculations and aiding in controller design.

Conclusion

The derivation of the transfer function from the mass-spring-damper differential equation provides a basis for understanding system dynamics. Analyzing the step response reveals key performance parameters, which are essential for control system design. MATLAB's computational tools streamline these analyses, making it easier to perform block reduction and response characterization. Mastery of these concepts enables engineers to design and optimize systems for desired transient and steady-state behaviors, enhancing system stability and performance.
