Eigenvalue for DC motor convergence rate

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding the control voltage for a DC motor to ensure that the speed converges to a constant reference input while determining the convergence rate through specified eigenvalues L1 and L2. The user shares the governing equations for the DC motor, which include parameters like inertia, load torque, resistance, and input voltage. They express confidence in calculating the control voltage but seek guidance on how to derive the convergence rate linked to the eigenvalues. The conversation highlights the need for clarity on the relationship between the motor's dynamics and the eigenvalues. Understanding this connection is crucial for achieving the desired speed control and convergence behavior.

Hi,
I have troubles solving this question:
Given the general DC motor governed equation, find the control voltage such that the speed w tends to constand reference input w* and the convergence rate is determined by the desired eigenvalues L1 and L2.
I think it's easy to find the control voltage to the speed w. However I don't know how to find "convergence rate" which is determined by the desired eigenvalues. Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks.

Can you give us the "general DC motor governed equation"?

Hi Andrew,
here it is:

J(dw/dt)=K1*i-T
L(di/dt)=-R*i-K2*w+u

where J is the inertial moment, w is motor speed, T is load torque, R is resistance, i is current, K1 and K2 are constant, and u is the input voltage.

Thank for your reply! Hope you know how to do it.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
