Problem 1
Find the closed-loop transfer function of the following system usign SFGs
Y (s)
• First set N = 0, find the transfer function of R(s)
Y (s)
• Secondly set R = 0 and find the transfer function of N (s)
• Express Y (s) in terms of R(s) and N (s) when both inputs are applied simultaneously
• Find the desired relation among the transfer functions G1 (s), G2 (s), G3 (s), G4 (s), H1 (s),
and H2 (s) so that the output Y (s) is not affected by the disturbance signal N (s) at
all.

Problem 2
The block diagram of an electric train control is shown in the figure below. The system
parameters are
• er (t) - voltage representing the desired train speed, V
• v(t) - speed of train, f t/sec
• M - mass of train = 30000lb
• K - amplifier gain
• Kt - gain of speed indicator = 0.15V /f t/sec

To determine the transfer function of the controller, we apply a step function of 1 volt to
the input of the controller, that is, ec (t) = us (t). The output of the controller is measured
and described by the following equation:
f (t) = 100(1 − 0.3e−6t − 0.1e−10t )us (t)
Then
• Find the transfer function Gc(s) of the controller
V (s)
• Derive the forward path transfer function E(s) of the system.The feedback path is
opened in this case.

Problem 3
For each of the characteristic equations of feedback control systems given, solve manu-
ally with Hurwitz’s, Lienard-Shipar’s and Routh’s method to determine the range of K so
that the system is asymptotically stable. Determine the value of K so that the system is
marginally stable. Then verify with MATLAB that your solution is correct.
