In summary, system overshoot is a phenomenon where a system or process surpasses its steady-state value or desired goal before stabilizing. It can be caused by system dynamics, external disturbances, and control parameters. The consequences of overshoot can range from instability or damage to inefficiency or delays in achieving the desired goal. To minimize or avoid overshoot, proper system design and control measures should be implemented. While it can be beneficial in some cases, it is crucial to consider the potential risks of overshoot in any system design.

I want to get the maximum overshoot for a system whose steady state output is zero (the output is the deviation from an equilibrium point), substituting in the maximum overshoot formula |Ymax-Ys.s|/Ys.s will yield an infinity, so how to do it?

thanks

The maximum overshoot you can achieve is infinity, what's the problem? Why are you designing a system for maximum overshoot?

I need to get the minimum damping ratio and natural frequency
 

1. What is system overshoot?

System overshoot is a phenomenon where a system or process exceeds its steady-state value or desired goal before stabilizing. It can occur in various systems, such as mechanical, electrical, biological, and economic systems.

2. What causes system overshoot?

There are several factors that can contribute to system overshoot, including system dynamics, external disturbances, and control parameters. In general, overshoot occurs when the system's response is faster than the desired response, leading to an initial overcorrection.

3. What are the consequences of system overshoot?

The consequences of system overshoot can vary depending on the system and the magnitude of the overshoot. In some cases, it can cause instability or damage to the system. In others, it may result in inefficiency or delays in achieving the desired goal.

4. How can system overshoot be minimized or avoided?

System overshoot can be minimized or avoided through proper system design and control. This may include implementing feedback control, optimizing control parameters, and considering external disturbances in the system design.

5. Is system overshoot always a bad thing?

No, system overshoot is not always a bad thing. In some cases, it can be beneficial, such as in control systems where a quick response is necessary. However, it is essential to carefully consider the consequences and potential risks of overshoot in any system design.
