AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on achieving maximum overshoot in a system with a steady-state output of zero, leading to an infinite result when applying the maximum overshoot formula. Participants question the rationale behind designing a system for maximum overshoot and highlight the implications of such a design. The original poster seeks to determine the minimum damping ratio and natural frequency necessary for this configuration. The conversation emphasizes the complexities and potential issues associated with targeting infinite overshoot in system design. Understanding these parameters is crucial for effective control system performance.

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?

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
