6. Analyze System Responses in Transient and Steady-State Conditions

This chapter covers the analysis of system responses in control systems, outlining both transient and steady-state behaviors. Understanding these responses is crucial for designing stable and high-performance systems. Key aspects include parameters affecting transient response, steady-state error, and the use of time and frequency domain analysis methods.

    Settling Time (Tst_s)

    Settling time (tst_s) reflects the duration a system takes to stabilize within a certain percentage of its final value after a disturbance.

    Learning Practice

  • 6.2.3

    Overshoot (Mpm_p)

    Overshoot refers to the maximum peak value of a system's response as a percentage of its steady-state value.

    Learning Practice

  • 6.2.4

    Peak Time (Tpt_p)

    Peak Time (tpt_p) is the time taken for a system to reach the first peak of its transient response after an input change.
