... [Show More] review questions presented at the end of each chapter. Below is a breakdown of the answers to the review questions provided in this segment:
Guided missiles, automatic gain control in radio receivers, satellite tracking antenna.
These are examples of systems where control systems engineering principles are applied.
Yes - power gain, remote control, parameter conversion; No - Expense, complexity.
This answer highlights the advantages and disadvantages of using control systems, such as power gain and remote control being benefits, while expense and complexity are drawbacks.
Motor, low pass filter, inertia supported between two bearings.
These are components or elements that can be found in control systems.
Closed-loop systems compensate for disturbances by measuring the response, comparing it to the input response (the desired output), and then correcting the output response.
This describes the function of closed-loop control systems in mitigating disturbances.
Under the condition that the feedback element is other than unity.
This answer specifies a condition under which feedback affects system performance.
Actuating signal.
This term refers to the signal that drives the system's output.
Multiple subsystems can time share the controller. Any adjustments to the controller can be implemented with simple software changes.
This highlights a feature of modern control systems regarding their flexibility and adaptability.
Stability, transient response, and steady-state error.
These are important performance criteria for control systems.
Steady-state, transient.
These are types of responses exhibited by control systems.
It follows a growing transient response until the steady-state response is no longer visible. The system will either destroy itself, reach an equilibrium state because of saturation in driving amplifiers, or hit limit stops.
This describes the behavior of a system with increasing gain.
Natural response.
This refers to the behavior of a system in the absence of external inputs or disturbances.
Determine the transient response performance of the system.
This is one of the objectives in analyzing control systems.
Determine system parameters to meet the transient response specifications for the system.
This is another objective in control system analysis and design.
True.
Presumably, this refers to a statement provided in the text.
Transfer function, state-space, differential equations.
These are different mathematical representations of control systems.
Transfer function - the Laplace transform of the differential equation. State-space - representation of an nth order differential equation as n simultaneous first-order differential equations.
These describe the definitions or properties of transfer functions and state-space representations.
Overall, this excerpt provides concise answers to various review questions related to the introductory concepts of control systems engineering. [Show Less]
