Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a second-order system with a damping ratio of 0.6 and a natural frequency of 4 rad/s, compute the settling time for the system to remain within 2% of its final value. Explain your calculations.
💡 Hint: Refer back to how the damping ratio and natural frequency interact in reaching the final calculations.
Discuss various modifications you could make to a control system to reduce settling time while minimizing overshoot. Provide rationales for each adjustment.
💡 Hint: Consider trade-offs between speed and system stability.
