Deteriming resonant frequencies

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the resonant frequencies of the transfer function T(s) = 7/s(s^2+6s+58) by substituting s with iω, resulting in T(iω) = 7/(ωi*(ω^2+6iω+58)). The user seeks assistance in plotting this function to identify the peaks in omega, which indicate the resonant frequencies. Tools mentioned for plotting include TI-89, Excel, and MATLAB. A key insight is that for resonance to occur, the circuit response must be entirely imaginary, necessitating the separation of real and imaginary parts of the function.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of transfer functions in control systems
  • Familiarity with complex numbers and their applications in engineering
  • Proficiency in using MATLAB for plotting functions

I am stumped on how exactly to do this.

I have the function: T(s) = 7/s(s^2+6s+58)

I need to change this to T(iω) and i being a complex root.

This creates: T(iω) = 7/(ωi*(ω^2+6iω+58))

I know I need to plot this function and find out where omega peaks and this will be my resonant frequence.

My only problem is I don't know how to plot this.

I've got a TI-89, Excel, or MATLAB if anyone knows how to do this in either of those.

Please let me know.

The circuit will be resonant if there are no real losses. In order for there to be no real losses, the circuit response must be entirely imaginary. Do some algebra to separate the real and imaginary parts, then equivalate the real par to zero. Then try solving it.
 
For some reason, I still can't get anything to come out of what you suggested. I understand what you are saying but its just not working.

Anyone have other comments that might help?
