Tachometer feedback for 16/[s(s+1)] to get ζ = 0.6
Short answer
Without tachometer: ωn = 4 rad/s, ζ = 0.125, peak overshoot 67.31%. With feedback H(s)=1+ks, setting ζ=0.6 requires k = 0.2375 s; then overshoot reduces to 9.48%.
A unity feedback system having feed forward transfer function G(s) = 16/[s(s+1)], determine the value of undamped natural frequency, damping ratio. If tachometer feedback is introduced, the feedback transfer function becomes (1+ks). What should be the value of 'k' to obtain damping ratio 0.6. Also calculate the percentage peak overshoot for unit step response before and after introduction of feedback.
A second order system has peak overshoot . Tachometer (derivative output) feedback increases the coefficient, so it increases damping without changing .
Without tachometer feedback
Comparing with :
With tachometer feedback
is still rad/s. For :
Peak overshoot after adding feedback
Summary
| Quantity | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| 4 rad/s | 4 rad/s | |
| 0.125 | 0.6 | |
| 67.31% | 9.48% |
Answer: rad/s, ; s; falls from 67.31% to 9.48%. Tachometer feedback greatly reduces overshoot without changing .
