Effect of Pole Location on Stability

TASK # 01:
By Routh-Hurwitz criteria, k ranges from 0 to 16.
K= 0<k<16

Over-damped response:

Critically-damped response:
System is critically damped at k=1.1 because roots get imaginary at k=1.2.

Under-damped response:
Marginal stable response:
TASK#02:
System is over-damped at interval 0< k<=1 because the roots are purely real. At k=1.1 system is
critically damped because roots become complex at k=1.2. At k=5 system becomes under-
damped because roots are equal. And finally at k=16 the system becomes marginally stable.
TASK#03:
CONCLUSION:
In this lab we learned when the system response is under-damped, over-damped, critically
damped and marginally stable by looking at the roots of the system. The damping and stability is
dependent on poles whether poles are equal, real, unequal, imaginary or complex. By looking at
the nature of roots/poles we can tell whether the system is damped or not.
