Pole Identification Using Block Diagram Reduction

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the challenge of identifying poles from a closed loop transfer function using block diagram reduction methods. Participants are exploring the intricacies of handling summation points and feedback loops within the context of an assignment.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in removing the summation point in the block diagram reduction process and seeks assistance.
  • Another participant suggests that the question may be more appropriate for a specific section dedicated to electrical engineering topics.
  • A later reply indicates a willingness to facilitate the movement of the post to the appropriate section.
  • There is a follow-up post expressing frustration at the lack of responses to the initial inquiry.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the best approach to handle the summation point, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding the specific steps needed for block diagram reduction.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not clarify the assumptions regarding the block diagram's structure or the definitions of terms used, which may affect the understanding of the problem.

Hello I hope someone can help me, as i am kinda stuck for the moment.
As you can see, the assignment states that I need to find the poles from the closed loop transfer function.

I plan on doing so, by using block diagram reduction method.

This is as fare as I've come, and can't come further, even though I am pretty sure that it is possible. The summation point confuses me, how do I remove it? I could remove the feedback loop, but the summation point would still be there, or am I wrong?

Any help would be nice.

@Hraabo,
There is a section here specially for EE. It may be better to post it there.
 
Is that so? Maybe Someone Can Move the post then?

And Sorry for the trouble

No problem, I told a mentor, he should be having a look at it soon.
 
Bump - No help? :S
