Find a, b, c from time specifications
Short answer
From steady-state output 0.5 for a 10 Nm step, c=20 Nm/rad. A 6% overshoot yields damping ratio 0.667; peak time 1 s gives natural frequency 4.217 rad/s. Then a=1.125 kg-m^2, b=6.33 Nm-s/rad.
For a mechanical system with closed loop transfer function θ(s)/T(s) = 1/(as² + bs + c), where θ(s) is the output of step input T(t) = 10 Nm. Determine values of a, b and c if maximum overshoot is 6%, peak time (tp) = 1 sec, and ess = 0.5.
Compare the system with the standard second order form. The final value fixes ; the overshoot fixes ; the peak time then fixes .
Interpretation: "" is taken as the steady state value of the output, rad, for the 10 Nm step (the usual reading of this problem, since and have different units).
Step 1: Find from the steady state
. By the final value theorem:
Step 2: Damping ratio from 6% overshoot
Step 3: Natural frequency from s
Step 4: Find and
Answer: kg-m², Nm-s/rad, Nm/rad.
(If instead is used, then , , ; and are unchanged.)
