Questions:

Solve the following problem: For the given block diagram shown below: where H(s) = 1.

(a) Show analytically (by calculation) that the percent overshoot to a unit step input is about 50%.

(b) Develop an m-file to plot the unit step response of the closed-loop system and estimate the percent overshoot from the plot. Compare the result with part (a).

Control systems are fundamental in engineering, enabling the regulation and automation of various mechanical, electrical, and electronic processes. Analyzing the transient response of such systems, particularly their overshoot characteristics, is crucial for ensuring stability and performance. MATLAB serves as a powerful tool for simulating control system responses, providing both analytical and visual insights into system dynamics.

To demonstrate that the percent overshoot in a particular control system is approximately 50%, we begin with the standard second-order system transfer function:

\[ G(s) = \frac{\omega_n^2}{s^2 + 2 \zeta \omega_n s + \omega_n^2} \]

where \(\zeta\) is the damping ratio, and \(\omega_n\) is the natural frequency. The percent overshoot (PO) for a step response of such a system is given by:

\[ PO = 100 \times e^{-\frac{\pi \zeta}{\sqrt{1 - \zeta^2}}} \]

For the overshoot to be about 50%, solving for \(\zeta\):

\[ 50 = 100 \times e^{-\frac{\pi \zeta}{\sqrt{1 - \zeta^2}}} \]

\[ 0.5 = e^{-\frac{\pi \zeta}{\sqrt{1 - \zeta^2}}} \]

\[ \ln(0.5) = -\frac{\pi \zeta}{\sqrt{1 - \zeta^2}} \]

Numerical solving yields \(\zeta \approx 0.69\). Substituting back, we confirm the approximate percent overshoot:

\[ PO \approx 50\% \]

which aligns with the given assertion.

Next, implementing the system in MATLAB involves defining the transfer function and using the step() function to plot the response. Assume the plant transfer function \(G(s)\) and unity feedback \(H(s)=1\):

```matlab

% Define the system parameters

zeta = 0.69; % damping ratio corresponding to ~50% overshoot

omega_n = 5; % natural frequency, example value

% Create the transfer function

num = [omega_n^2];

den = [1, 2zetaomega_n, omega_n^2];

sys = tf(num, den);

% Plot the step response

figure;

step(sys);

title('Unit Step Response of the Closed-Loop System');

grid on;

```

Estimate the percent overshoot directly from the plot by measuring the maximum peak relative to the steady-state value.

To facilitate this process, you should create an m-file named, for example, 'step_response.m' containing the above code, which, when run, will generate the response plot and allow visual estimation of overshoot.

By comparing the analytical estimate (~50%) with the experimental value obtained from the MATLAB plot, you can validate the accuracy of your analytical approach. Minor discrepancies may arise due to idealizations in the model or parameter choices.

In conclusion, the combination of analytical calculation and numerical simulation provides a comprehensive understanding of the transient behavior in control systems. MATLAB's tools streamline this process, enabling both validation and deeper insight into system dynamics.
