A system with transfer function 1/Ts+1, subjected to a step input take...
Given: Transfer function of the system is 1/Ts 1.
The system is subjected to a step input and takes 2 seconds to reach 50% of step height.
To find: The value of t.
Solution:
We know that the transfer function of a first-order system is given by:
G(s) = K/(1+Ts)
where K is the gain and T is the time constant.
Here, the transfer function is 1/Ts 1. So,
K = 1
T = s
The response of the system to a step input is given by:
C(s) = G(s) * R(s)
where C(s) is the output (response), R(s) is the input (step), and G(s) is the transfer function.
For a step input, R(s) = 1/s.
Therefore,
C(s) = G(s) * R(s)
= 1/(s^2 + sT)
The time-domain response is obtained by taking the inverse Laplace transform of C(s). The Laplace transform of 50% of step height is 0.5/s. So, we need to find the time when C(t) = 0.5/s.
C(s) = 0.5/s
1/(s^2 + sT) = 0.5/s
sT + 1 = 2s
sT = 2s - 1
T = (2s - 1)/s
Substituting s = jw (where j is the imaginary unit) to get the frequency response:
T(jw) = (2jw - 1)/(jw)
= 2 - (1/jw)
The magnitude of the frequency response at w = 0 (DC gain) is:
|T(j0)| = |2 - (1/j0)| = 2
This means that the system has a gain of 2 at DC.
The magnitude of the frequency response at w = infinity (high-frequency gain) is:
|T(jinf)| = |2 - (1/jinf)| = 2
This means that the system has a gain of 2 at high frequencies.
The magnitude of the frequency response at w = 1/T (crossover frequency) is:
|T(j1/T)| = |2 - (1/j1/T)| = |2 - jT| = sqrt(2^2 + T^2)
Since the system takes 2 seconds to reach 50% of step height, the time constant T is:
T = 2/1.5 = 1.333 seconds
Therefore, the crossover frequency is:
w = 1/T = 0.75 rad/s
At this frequency,
|T(j0.75)| = sqrt(2^2 + 1.333^2) = 2.564
This means that the system has a gain of 2.564 at the crossover frequency.
The phase angle at the crossover frequency can be found as:
tan(phi) = Im(T(j0.75))/Re(T(j0.75))
= -1.333/1.564
phi = -39.9 degrees
Since the phase angle is negative, the system is a type 1 system (no phase lag).
Now, to find the time when the response reaches 50% of step height,
