    Sketching Root Locus of System: K Varies 0 to ∞

    I guess I finally did it. my characteristic equation is (s+2)(s+5)(s+K) + 10K = 0. we expand to s³ + 7s² + 10s + Ks² 7Ks + 20K = 0 the C.E. must be written as 1 + K*F(s) = 0, then s³ + 7s² + 10s + K(s² + 7s + 20) = 0 1 + K(s² + 7s + 20)/( s³ + 7s² + 10s) = 0 this is...

    Sketching Root Locus of System: K Varies 0 to ∞

    yeah, that's what I'm doing... the problem is: K is not a constant. to use the root locus drawing rules the characteristic equation of the closed loop system must be written as 1 + GH = 0. All that I got in this case is (s+2)(s+5)(s+K) + 10K = 0.

    Sketching Root Locus of System: K Varies 0 to ∞

    Hello guys, I need help to sketch the root locus of the system when K is varying from 0 to infinity. (K>=0) The system: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/anspe.jpg I'm stuck. I really don't know how proceed. Thanks in advance.

    How can I control the current in an RL circuit using state space modeling?

    hello sundaram... you did right... let me call the current that is flowing through the inductor iL = x1 using kirchhoff voltage law you got x1' = u/L - (R/L)*X1 to "control" your current you just need to use y = x1 in MATLAB you can use A = [-R/L] B = [u/L] C = [1] D = 0 sys...

    yea, the man is right you just need to change your x-variable... go to plot->axis settings->x axis->axis variable and put v(d1:1).
