Stability analysis and Root Locus
Q1) Sketch the root locus for given open loop transfer function G(S) = .
A1)
1) G(s) =
Number of Zeros = 0
Number of polls S = (0, -1+j, -1-j) = (3).
1) Number of Branches = max (P, Z) = max (3, 0) = 3.
2) As there are no zeros in the system so, all branches terminate at infinity.
3) As P>Z, branches terminate at infinity through the path shown by asymptotes
Asymptote = × 180° q = 0, 1, 2………..(p-z-1)
P=3, Z=0.
q= 0, 1, 2.
For q=0
Asymptote = 1/3 × 180° = 60°
For q=1
Asymptote = × 180°
= 180°
For q=2
Asymptote = × 180° = 300°
Asymptotes = 60°,180°,300°.
4) Asymptote intersects real axis at centroid
Centroid =
=
Centroid = -0.66
5) As poles are complex so angle of departure
øD = (2q+1)×180°+ø
ø = ∠Z –∠P.
Calculating ø for S=0
Join all the other poles with S=0
ø = ∠Z –∠P.
= 0-(315°+45°)
= -360°
ØD = (2q + 1)180 + ø.
= 180° - 360°
ØD = -180° (for q=0)
= 180° (for q=1)
=540° (for q=2)
Calculation ØD for pole at (-1+j)
ø = ∠Z –∠P.
= 0 –(135°+90°)
= -225°
ØD = (2q+1) 180°+ø.
= 180-225°
= -45°
ØD = -45° (for q = 0)
= 315° (for q = 1)
= 675° (for q =2)
6) The crossing point on imaginary axis can be calculated by Routh Hurwitz the characteristic equation is.
1+G(s) H (s) = 0
1+
S (S2+2s+2)+k = 0
S3+2s2+2s+K = 0
For stability >0. And K > 0.
0<K<2.
So, when K=2 root locus crosses imaginary axis
S3 + 2S2 + 2S + 2 =0
For k
Sn-1 = 0 n: no. Of intersection
S2-1 = 0 at imaginary axis
S1 = 0
= 0
K<4
For Sn = 0 for valve of S at that K
S2 = 0
2S2 + K = 0
2S2 + 2 = 0
2(S2 +1) = 0

q= 0,1,2.
For q = 0
Asymptote = × 180° = 60.
For q=1
Asymptote = × 180° = 180°
For q=2
Asymptote = × 180° = 300°
5. Asymptote intersect real axis at centroid

1+ = 0
K = -(S3+3S2+2s)
= 3S2+6s+2 = 0
3s2+6s+2 = 0
S = -0.423, -1.577.
So, breakaway point is at S=-0.423
Because root locus is between S= 0 and S= -1

a) Calculating Ø for S=0
ø = ∠Z –∠P.

Ø = -360°
For q = 0
ØD = (2q+1) 180° + Ø
= 180 - 360°
ØD = -180°
b) Calculating Ø for S=-1+j
ø = ∠Z –∠P.
= 0-[135° + 90° + 90°]
Ø = -315°
For q=0
ØD= (2q+1) 180° +Ø
= 180° -315°
ØD = -135°
ØD for S=1+j will be ØD = 45°
7) As the root locus lie between S=0 and S=-1
So, the breakaway point is calculated
1+ G(s)H(s) = 0
1+ = 0
(S2+S)(S2 +2S+2) + K =0
K = -[S4+S3+2s3+2s2+2s2+2s]

S = -0.39, -0.93, -0.93.
The breakaway point is at S = -0.39 as root locus exists between S= 0 and S=-1

1+= 0.
K = -[S4+2S3+2S2+2S3+4S2+4S]
K = -[S4+4S3+6S2+4S]

- Number of zeros = 1(S = -6)
Number of poles = 2(S = 0, -4)
2. As P > Z one branch will terminate at infinity and the other at S = -6.
3. For Break away and breaking point
1 + G(S)H(S) = 0
1 + K(S + 6)/S(S + 4) = 0
Dk/ds = 0
S2 + 12S + 24 = 0
S = -9.5, -2.5
Breakaway point is at -2.5 and Break in point is at -9.5.
4. Root locus will be in the form of a circle. So finding the centre and radius. Let S = + jw.
G( + jw) = K( + jw + 6)/( + jw)( + jw + 4 ) = +- π
Tan-1 w/ + 6 - tan-1 w/ – tan-1 w / + 4 = - π
Taking tan of both sides.
w/ + w/ + 4 / 1 – w/ w/ + 4 = tan π + w / + 6 / 1 - tan π w/ + 6
w/ + w/ + 4 = w/ + 6[ 1 – w2 / ( + 4) ]
(2 + 4)( + 6) = (2 + 4 – w2)
2 2 + 12 + 4 + 24 = 2 + 4 – w2
22 + 12 + 24 = 2 – w2
2 + 12 – w2 + 24 = 0
Adding 36 on both sides
( + 6)2 + (w + 0)2 = 12
The above equation shows circle with radius 3.46 and center(-6, 0) the plot is shown in figure below.

Q7) Determine the stability of the system represent by following characteristic equations using Routh criterion
1) S4 + 3s3 + 8s2 + 4s +3 = 0
2) S4 + 9s3 + 4S2 – 36s -32 = 0
A7)
1) S4+3s3+8s2+4s+3=0
No sign change in first column to no rows on right half of S-plane system stable.
2) S4 + 9s3 + 4S2 – 36s -32 = 0
Special case II of Routh Hurwitz criterion forming auxiliary equation
A1 (s) = 8S2 – 32 = 0
= 16S – 0 =0
One sign change so, one root lies on right half S-plane hence system is unstable.

S(S+1)(S+3)(S+4)+k = 0
(S2+5)(S2+7Sα12)αK = 0
S4α7S3α1252+S3α7S2α125αK = 0
S4+8S3α19S2+125+k = 0
By Routh Hurwitz Criterion
For system to be stable the range of K is 0< K < .
Q9) The characteristic equation for certain feedback control system is given. Find range of K for system to be stable. S4+4S3α12S2+36SαK = 0
A9)
S4+4S3α12S2+36SαK = 0
For stability K>0
> 0
K < 27
Range of K will be 0 < K < 27
Q10) Check if all roots of equation
S3+6S2+25S+38 = 0, have real poll more negative than -1.
A10)
No sign change in first column, hence all roots are in left half of S-plane.
Replacing S = Z-1. In above equation
(Z-1)3+6(Z-1)2+25(Z-1)+38 = 0
Z3+ Z23+16Z+18=0
No sign change in first column roots lie on left half of Z-plane hence all roots of original equation in S-domain lie to left half 0f S = -1
