1 Preamble
The aim of this coursework is to enhance your understanding of the dynamics of multi-degree
of freedom systems to compliment what you have learnt in the EG5027 Dynamics and Control
module.
2 Assignment Tasks
(1) Derive the mass and stiffness matrices for the vibrating system shown in Figure 1.
(2) Show that the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the coupled system are:

[30%]/n3 Assignment Submission Format
You are required to a PDF file of no more than four A4 pages showing:
(a) The derivation of the mass and stiffness matrices of the system.
(b) The derivation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the system.
(c) The listing of your Matlab® script for calculating the natural frequencies and mode shapes
of the system (Note: you should list the code within the PDF file as plain text, you are not
required to submit your M-file.)
(d) Comment(s) on the results obtained in (b) and (c).
The page layout should be portrait, single column and margins should not be less than 20 mm.
The file should be typeset with a minimum font size and linespacing of 12pt and 1.5, respectively.
Equations prepared using technical typesetting software, such as LATEX or Math Type, are preferred,
but if you are not able to do so, high-quality scanned clear and legible hand-prepared equations are
acceptable.
No title page is required for the PDF file. Pages of the file should be numbered consecutively and
shown on the centre footer of each page. Your student number must be clearly shown on the right
header of all pages.
The PDF file should have the module code, your student number, assignment identifier as the
filename; and 'pdf' as the extension, in the form of EG5027_u1234567_CW1R.pdf.¹

(a) The first-order system has the transfer function T(s)=\frac{A}{1+s T} Find the system output response in time domain when a unit ramp signal, r(t)=t, is applied to its input. (b) The transfer function of a second-order system is: T(s)=\frac{4}{s^{2}+4 s+4} Find the system output response in time domain when a unit ramp signal, r(t)=t, is applied to its input. \text { (Note: The inverse Laplace transform of } F(s)=\frac{1}{(s+a)^{2}} \text { is } f(t)=t \cdot e^{-a t} \text {.) }

The objective is keep the pendulum in the upright position, that is to keep 0 = 0, in the pres- ence of disturbances. Optical encoder to measure angle 7/ 7, torque m, mass
1. Determine whether the following systems are linear systems or not, and show (or explain) why [note that x represents the input and y represents the output]: \text { System 1: } y=x+1 \text { System 2: } y=x+x^{3}
1. Reduce the block diagram shown in Figure P5.1 to a single transfer function, T(s) = C(s)/R(s). Use the following methods: R(s) a. Block diagram reduction [Section: 5.2] b. MATLAB 50 s+1 2 S FIGURE P5.1 S 2 MATLAB ML C(s)
E1.4 An automobile driver uses a control system to main- tain the speed of the car at a prescribed level. Sketch a block diagram to illustrate this feedback system.
P1.8 The student-teacher learning process is inherently a feedback process intended to reduce the system error to a minimum. Construct a feedback model of the learning process and identify each block of the system.
Problem 2. The sine input u = v2 sin 2t and the corresponding output of the stable linear dynamic system are shown in Fig. 1. During steady-state, they have the same frequency, but different amplitudes (the output amplitude is 1) and phase angles. The phase delay turns out to be one eighth (1/8) of the input period. Based on this observation, determine the frequency response function value at the input frequency, in other words G(2j).
4. Let I=c=4 for the PI controller shown. The performance specifications require that τ= 0.2 (a) Compute the required gain values for each case, 1) <=0.707 2) <=1 (b) Use matlab to plot the unit-step command responses for each of the cases in (a). Compare.
P1.5 A light-seeking control system, used to track the sun, is shown in Figure P1.5. The output shaft, driven by the motor through a worm reduction gear, has a bracket attached on which are mounted two photocells. Complete the closed-loop system so that the system follows the light source./nMotor S Gears € Photocell tubes * Light source FIGURE P1.5 A photocell is mounted in each tube. The light reaching each cell is the same in both only when the light source is exactly in the middle as shown.
