Assignment 1 2013/ 2014
Answer all questions.
Q1.
Outline the Laplace transform method of determining the state transition matrix that is required in
the solution of the state equation.
Q2.
Description: A DC motor with constant field is driven by application of a voltage to its armature
terminals. Through a set of gears, the motor drives a load with moment of inertia [, subject to an
external torque (see the figure). The control objective is to keep the load angle at some desired
value.

Inputs and Outputs: The armature voltage : is the control input, and the load torque I is a
disturbance. The outputs are the shaft angle 0 and angular velocity .
Basic Principles: The gear ratio N is the ratio of angles and velocities of the two shafts; the
torques have the same ratio. The load shaft is the high-torque, low velocity shaft. The torque I

produced by a de motor is given by I

is a constant and is the field intensity.
The armature circuit has resistance R and inductance I, and the motion generates a back emf
