Transfer Function: U(s) to Y(s): 2 Plants, D(s) Disturbance

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the overall transfer function Y(s)/U(s) for a system with two plants, G1(s) and G2(s), and a disturbance input D(s). The initial equation proposed is Y(s) = U(s)G1(s)G2(s) + G2(s)D(s). Clarification is sought on whether moving D(s) to the left of G1(s) in the block diagram is the correct approach. The conversation emphasizes understanding the relationship between the disturbance and the plants in the system. Overall, the participants are focused on accurately representing the system dynamics and deriving the transfer function.

U(s) is my input, Y(s) is the output. I have two plants, G1(s) and G2(s). Between these two plants, i have a disturbance input, D(s).

Am i right to say Y(s) = U(s)G1(s)G2(s) + G2(s)D(s)?

If that is the case, how can i get the overall transfer function Y(s)/U(s)? Please advise. Thank you.

I believe if you move D(s) to the left, you will now have D(s)/G1(s) in parallel with G1(s) and G2(s).

Hi rock.freak667,

sorry i don't get you. do you mean shift the disturbance D(s) to the left of G1(s) as in in the block diagram?

or do you mean the equation Y(s) - G2(s)D(s) = U(s)G1(s)G2(s)?

please advise. thank you.

Sorry I was not clearer, I meant shift the disturbance to the left of G1(s) in the block diagram.
