Introduction
Control systems play an important role in most of electro mechanical systems. To control the
system precisely, its important to design the control system accurately. This lab introduces the
analysis of control systems and determine their stability for step inputs. The Laplace transform is
frequently used in analyzing the systems since its convenient to simplify the equations. The
system equations are modelled and simulated using MATLAB to analyze.
Task 1
We can construct a transfer function in Matlab window by assigning the numerator or
denominator coefficient vectors or directly by the following tf function as below

Exercise 1
1. Transfer Function of G1
Since the real part of poles of the function is positive, the system is unstable. The imaginary part
of the poles accounts for the oscillation in the time domain function. According to Pole-Zero
Map the poles are situated in the right side of the plane making the system unstable.
Page | 5
2. Transfer Function of G2
The poles are situated in the imaginary axis. Therefore, the system is marginally stable and
system will oscillate with a constant amplitude determined by the initial conditions
Page | 6
3. Transfer Function of G3
The poles have positive real part corresponds to an exponentially increasing component C t
in the homogeneous response; thus defining the system to be unstable.

Exercise 4
Transient response of a system is response of a system to a change from equilibrium. A system is
said to be in a transient state when a process variable has been changed and the system has not
yet reached steady-state. Steady state response is the response that can be achieved in the
equilibrium state of the control system.
Transient means changing. Transient state is an interval of time in which our system is either
"warming up" or taking its time to respond to a disturbance. Steady is the opposite of transient.
Steady state is a condition where our system continues with an easily predictable behavior and
few values of it are changing if any. Transient state response is a description of how the system
functions during transient state. Steady state response is a description of how the system
functions during steady state.
2.
T1(s)-The poles in the transfer function is in left side of the pole zero plot.Therefore the system is
stable .
Poles are as follows:
-2+0.5i , -2-0.5i
Transfer function for poles
() =
1
2 + 4 + 4.25
Page | 18
Page | 19
T2(s): The poles are in the left side of the pole zero plot. Therefore, the system is stable.
Poles are:
(-1+1i), (-1-1i)
The Transfer function :
() =
1
+ 2 + 2
Page | 20
In this system the step response slightly overshoot therefore the system is much more stable.
T3(s): The poles are in the imaginary axis of the pole zero plot. Therefore, the system is
marginally stable.
Poles:(2i, -2i)
The transfer function:
() =
1
+4

Page | 22
T4(s):One pole has a positive value in the real axis .Therefore the system is unstable.
Poles:(0.5,-0.5)
