    Homework Problems #1

    1. Assume a dynamic system is described by the following ordinary differential equation (ODE):
    y (4) + 9y (3) + 30ÿ + 42ẏ + 20y = F (t) (1)
    where y (n) = dn y/dtn .
    (a) (10 %) Let F (t) = 1 for t ≥ 0, please solve the ODE analytically.
    (b) (10 %) Please give a brief comment to the evolution of the system.
    (c) (5 %) Please give a brief comment to the stability of the system.
    (d) (10 %) Suppose F (t) = 1. Please run a numerical simulation of this system for 10 seconds
    with initial conditions: y(0) = 0, ẏ(0) = 0, ÿ(0) = 0, and y (3) (0) = 0 to verify your
    analytical solution.
    2. The state-space equation of the dynamic system has the following form:
    Ẋ = AX + Bu
    y = CX
    The corresponded input-output transfer function T (s) can be found by
    Y (s)
    T (s) = = C(sI − A)−1 B (2)
    U (s)
    where I is the identity matrix. Consider the following system:
       
    0 1 1
    Ẋ = X+ u
    −2 −3 1
     
    y = 2 3 X
    (a) (10 %) Please find the input-output transfer function of this system.
    (b) (5 %) Please give a brief comment to the stability of this system.
    3. Consider an infinitely thing flat plat with a 1-m chord at an angle of attack of 10◦ in a
    supersonic flow. The pressure and shear stress distributions on the upper and lower surfaces
    are respectively given by
    pu = 4 × 104 (x − 1)2 + 5.4 × 104
    pl = 2 × 104 (x − 1)2 + 1.73 × 105
    τu = 288x−0.2
    τl = 731x−0.2 ,
    where x is the distance from the leading edge in meters and p and τ are in newtons per square
    meter. Calculate

    1
    (a) (10 %) the normal and axial forces
    (b) (10 %) the lift and drag
    (c) (10 %) the moments about the leading edge
    (d) (10 %) the moments about the quarter chord (c/4)
    (e) (10 %) the location of the center of pressure
