51. A first order lag term 1/(1+0.25s) is present in a transfer function. What value of corner frequency is associated with the Bode magnitude plot?

1/(1+0.25s) → [let s = jw] → = 1/(1+0.25[jw]);

Solve for w = omega sub c = -1/0.25(-1) = 4 rad/s

56. When phase margin reduces, what effect is felt on the closed-loop system?

Lower stability as phase margin decreases and is unstable at negative PM values

61. A lag compensator can be considered as a ---------------- Filter

  • Low pass

66. The inverted pendulum system used for the final lecture demo is a ____________ Input ____________ Output system

Single, multi

Single (Force), double (X and Theta)

52. A second order lag term 1/(s^2+2s+8) is present in a transfer function. What value of corner frequency is associated with the Bode magnitude plot?

1/(s^2+2s+8) → [let s = jw] → = 1/([jw]^2+2[jw]+8);

Solve for w = omega sub c:

(-1)w^2 + 2(-1)w + 8 → [factor out -ve] → - (w^2+2w-8);  P =-8; S = 2; (4,-2)

Simplifies to: -(w+4)(w-2) → w = 4 and -2 rad/s → corner frequency should be +ve (?) so w = 4 rad/s

62. Give two drawbacks of a PD controller when compared to a Lead compensator

  • Increase noise

  • SSE is not zero

53. What are the two major differences between Bode plots for first order systems and for second order systems?

First order system: higher frequency of -90 dB/decade & slope of -40 dB/decade 

Second order system: higher frequency of -180 dB/decade & slope of -80 dB/decade

63. How would you choose the corner frequencies for a lead compensator given the Bode Plot (Frequency Response) of the open loop system?

Allow more positive phase to be introduced into the system

54. A system has four poles and one zero. What would be the value of slope at high frequencies in a Bode magnitude plot? What would be the value of phase at high frequencies?

The slope will be -60 dB/dec and the phase will be -270 degrees at high frequencies
