Chapter 10 Problem 49

Question

In order to self-balance a bicycle, its open-loop transfer function is found to be (Lam, 2011):

G(s) = \(\frac{\theta(s)}{U(s)}\)

        = \(\frac{334019}{s^4+5126.16 s^3+2470.7 s^2+428419 s-34040}\)

where \(\theta(s)\) is the angle of the bicycle with respect to the vertical, and U(s) is the voltage applied to the motor that drives a flywheel used to stabilize the bicycle. Note that the bicycle is open-loop unstable with one open-loop pole in the right half-plane.

a. Draw the Nyquist diagram of the system.

b. Find the system's gain and phase margins.

c. Assuming a unit feedback system, find the range of K for closed-loop stability if the forward path transfer function is KG(s).

d. Assuming a second-order approximation, what is the expected %OS if K = 0.141?

e. Use a computer program to simulate your system for a unit-step response using the value of K in Part d.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 10 problem number 49 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In order to self-balance a bicycle, its open-loop transfer function is found to be (Lam, 2011):G(s) = \(\frac{\theta(s)}{U(s)}\)        = \(\frac{334019}{s^4+5126.16 s^3+2470.7 s^2+428419 s-34040}\)where \(\theta(s)\) is the angle of the bicycle with respect to the vertical, and U(s) is the voltage applied to the motor that drives a flywheel used to stabilize the bicycle. Note that the bicycle is open-loop unstable with one open-loop pole in the right half-plane.a. Draw the Nyquist diagram of the system.b. Find the system's gain and phase margins.c. Assuming a unit feedback system, find the range of K for closed-loop stability if the forward path transfer function is KG(s).d. Assuming a second-order approximation, what is the expected %OS if K = 0.141? e. Use a computer program to simulate your system for a unit-step response using the value of K in Part d.
From the textbook chapter FREQUENCY RESPONSE TECHNIQUES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
