The night before my final, I was looking at my review sheet feeling absolutely hopeless and was wondering defeatedly to myself what the controller would look like for some sort of cosmic feedback loop where the reference signal was a B+, I was the plant, and the interference was my (poor) decision to take classes at overlapping times, if the system was required to have a rise time < 15 hours, a steady state error

Very good practical concepts. Vil u please share videos on rate feedback controller and transportation delay. Also i want u to formulate fundamentals in process control...
Hi Brian, Thanks a lot for the videos. I have a couple of questions though. 1. If it's easily possible to solve control systems with modern computers, why do we even bother to transform to the frequency domain? 2. Why is it difficult to find the roots of 1 + HG? Wouldn't it be the same as before since the denominator is the same? Thank you.
2. Because with HG, we solve for the open loop, then the caracteristic equation is the DENOMINATOR of HG. However, with 1+HG, the problem is now closed loop system, 1+HG is the denominator of the total transfer function; then the caracteristic equation is NUMERATOR of 1+HG.
First of all, great videos!! I just have one question, if the transfer function of a system has poles on the immaginary axis (0 excluded) is it considered BIBO stable? For example, is the system with the following transfer function W(S) = 1/(s^2+1) BIBO stable?
Hi Brian! I really appreciate your videos and enthusiasm for Control Theory. The insights and bigger picture you are providing makes all the things settle well in my head. In this video I've found a possible typo. Could you please double check the TF of the mass with spring (5 minutes into the video)? Mine is K/(ms^2 + K). And if I am the one mistaken, could you please explain me why? Thanks and keep up the great job! Also congrats on the new work!
The forces acting on the mass are F and -kx. So ma = mx'' = F-kx. Take laplace, you get: ms^2*X(s) + k*X(s) = F(s). Therefore, X(s) = F(s) * (1/ms^2 + k)
I have a question if u can answer......the output and input may have different units.....so how we can compare the feedback with input signal......for example input is the force and output is distance??.......also is there difference between input signal and reference signal.....thanks if u r reading.....I am thankful to ur teaching
hi.Mr.Brian Douglas thank you for the clear explanation. I had a small question can you give me the details how these r-h criteria,root locus,bode plot are determining closed system stability directly by using open loop equation. I dont mean to get procedure for those i need to get derivation part that this made them to make a direct comment on stability of the system. so,pls give me a solution for thi though it may be stupid question please help me if i dont get the clear outview of the subject
Great video. Minor comment: static sliding friction of the rock on the table in your example would make the system nonlinear and not a great choice for linear control theory.
Hi Brian, thanks for the lecture! Actually, I was looking for an explanation to what may be an unusual question: From the equation of the closed loop system, it is easy to see how 180 degrees phase shift (-1) and a loop gain of x1 will cause instability in a closed system with negative feedback. What is harder to understand, at least from an intuitive perspective, is why a 180 degree phase shift and loop gain of >1 (e.g. x10) does not result in even more instability! Again, the equation, tells us that the system is stable but it seems a bit counterintuitive. Can you help me gain an intuitive understanding of why gains of >1 do not result in instability despite 180 degrees phase shift. Please!
sooo basically, if I understand this correctly, when you rewrite the transfer function of the system, that is closed, you have the polynomial division, in which P(q) is multiplication of each inidividual part of the block diagram, that is H and G. Then in the lower part of the division, you simply ADD +1 to what you have above. Right?
the closed loop transfer function is equal to feedforward gain/(1- loop gain) the feedforward gain is equal to HG in this example and the loop gain is equal to -HG as we have negative feedback. so in total you get HG/(1+HG)
Hi Brian, Could you help me know why a system must be un energized to find its step response. I am dealing with a system thats a pneumatic piston. control variable is air mass flow. so i want to find the step response of this system at various points and the spring against which the system acts is a diaphragm so its nonlinear force with position. I want a step response at many points and all but one of which have some pressure in the system. please help..
Hi Brian, I have a transfer function 1/(s^3 + 2 s^2 + 3 s + 8), which is unstable. Then using matlab I put a controller (3s+1). In closedloop step resnpose test, the system is now stable but slow. Then I modified the controller to (3s+1)*(s+1): the response was even better. My question is: are these controllers make sense/realizable? Isn't it the rule poles > zeros is a must? Thanks a lot!!
My understanding is that only proper transfer functions (ie: The order of the numerator polynomial must be less than or equal to the order of the denomonator polynomial). So, in order to make your controller, you'll need to introduce 2 addtional poles. If you select them to decay rapidly, then they won't affect the functioning of your system too much.
I have a little question. Shouldn't the reference be a position instead of a force? For instance, I may want the rock to be at x = 3 cm, and make an action (force) to do that. But I find no sense in saying "I want a force of such an amount of Newtons as a reference". What am I missing?
We need a force that'll cancel the effect of the disturbing force so the rock remains on the same position. Assuming you accurately measure all the variables entering the system to disturb it, the reference can be an instantaneous opposite force...subject to the most recent disturbing force input.
Your voice makes me feel that everything is going to be okay
Why is this so relatable?

Very good practical concepts. Vil u please share videos on rate feedback controller and transportation delay. Also i want u to formulate fundamentals in process control...
Another excellent tutorial! Many thanks !!!
You are really good at drawing. I kinda wanna draw now
Hi Brian,
Thanks a lot for the videos. I have a couple of questions though.
1. If it's easily possible to solve control systems with modern computers, why do we even bother to transform to the frequency domain?
2. Why is it difficult to find the roots of 1 + HG? Wouldn't it be the same as before since the denominator is the same?
Thank you.
2. Because with HG, we solve for the open loop, then the caracteristic equation is the DENOMINATOR of HG. However, with 1+HG, the problem is now closed loop system, 1+HG is the denominator of the total transfer function; then the caracteristic equation is NUMERATOR of 1+HG.
Eigen value, in Linear Algebra perspective everything are so clear. The terms like “poles” sounds like in dark age.
Thank you Brian, but can you please cover MPC controllers ?
Excellent introduction!
Appreciate the effort your putting into your videos......:)

very good mr douglas
First of all, great videos!! I just have one question, if the transfer function of a system has poles on the immaginary axis (0 excluded) is it considered BIBO stable? For example, is the system with the following transfer function W(S) = 1/(s^2+1) BIBO stable?
at 9:45 you say roots are -4 -3 -1 0 but do HG have any root at all??the nominator is 1?!?
please make video on state space equation and thier practical examples.
Hi Brian! I really appreciate your videos and enthusiasm for Control Theory. The insights and bigger picture you are providing makes all the things settle well in my head. In this video I've found a possible typo. Could you please double check the TF of the mass with spring (5 minutes into the video)? Mine is K/(ms^2 + K). And if I am the one mistaken, could you please explain me why?
Thanks and keep up the great job! Also congrats on the new work!
The forces acting on the mass are F and -kx. So ma = mx'' = F-kx. Take laplace, you get: ms^2*X(s) + k*X(s) = F(s). Therefore, X(s) = F(s) * (1/ms^2 + k)
I have a question if u can answer......the output and input may have different units.....so how we can compare the feedback with input signal......for example input is the force and output is distance??.......also is there difference between input signal and reference signal.....thanks if u r reading.....I am thankful to ur teaching
awesome lecture brian thnx
this is insanely good
hi.Mr.Brian Douglas thank you for the clear explanation. I had a small question can you give me the details how these r-h criteria,root locus,bode plot are determining closed system stability directly by using open loop equation. I dont mean to get procedure for those i need to get derivation part that this made them to make a direct comment on stability of the system. so,pls give me a solution for thi though it may be stupid question please help me if i dont get the clear outview of the subject
Great video. Minor comment: static sliding friction of the rock on the table in your example would make the system nonlinear and not a great choice for linear control theory.
Thanks a lot for the videos. Very helpful~~
Hi Brian, thanks for the lecture! Actually, I was looking for an explanation to what may be an unusual question: From the equation of the closed loop system, it is easy to see how 180 degrees phase shift (-1) and a loop gain of x1 will cause instability in a closed system with negative feedback. What is harder to understand, at least from an intuitive perspective, is why a 180 degree phase shift and loop gain of >1 (e.g. x10) does not result in even more instability! Again, the equation, tells us that the system is stable but it seems a bit counterintuitive. Can you help me gain an intuitive understanding of why gains of >1 do not result in instability despite 180 degrees phase shift. Please!
sooo basically, if I understand this correctly, when you rewrite the transfer function of the system, that is closed, you have the polynomial division, in which P(q) is multiplication of each inidividual part of the block diagram, that is H and G. Then in the lower part of the division, you simply ADD +1 to what you have above. Right?
the closed loop transfer function is equal to feedforward gain/(1- loop gain) the feedforward gain is equal to HG in this example and the loop gain is equal to -HG as we have negative feedback. so in total you get HG/(1+HG)
plese explain the nyquist critetion as well
Brian's voice reminds me of Commander Data
your videos are awseome , thanks alot
How do we make sure that which method is the best for stability analysis of a control system?
Hi Brian,
Could you help me know why a system must be un energized to find its step response.
I am dealing with a system thats a pneumatic piston. control variable is air mass flow.
so i want to find the step response of this system at various points and the spring against which the system acts is a diaphragm so its nonlinear force with position. I want a step response at many points and all but one of which have some pressure in the system. please help..
Great video, thanks very much.
Amazing videos! Thank you so much!!!
My MAN!!!! Thank YOU.
Could also upload what ever you wrote on d blackboard in form of an image/pdf/etc so that later on we could just look at it to revise the lecture...!!
Wish I had known about this sooner.
Great job.
Is there anywhere I can download these videos? i would love to able to watch them offline while commuting etc..
Excellent mate! Thanks!
hi.. i like you explaination....can you show how to sketch root locus step by step?
Thank you very much ! REALLY !
what will happen to stablity if number of zeroes are more than number of poles in transfer function?
Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much for your videos
Hi Brian, I have a transfer function 1/(s^3 + 2 s^2 + 3 s + 8), which is unstable. Then using matlab I put a controller (3s+1). In closedloop step resnpose test, the system is now stable but slow. Then I modified the controller to (3s+1)*(s+1): the response was even better. My question is: are these controllers make sense/realizable? Isn't it the rule poles > zeros is a must? Thanks a lot!!
My understanding is that only proper transfer functions (ie: The order of the numerator polynomial must be less than or equal to the order of the denomonator polynomial). So, in order to make your controller, you'll need to introduce 2 addtional poles. If you select them to decay rapidly, then they won't affect the functioning of your system too much.
No words. thanks
Sir, you saved my final exam.
Good job Brian
Nice presentation, very helpfull
I permit to download this video
Thanks
I have a little question. Shouldn't the reference be a position instead of a force? For instance, I may want the rock to be at x = 3 cm, and make an action (force) to do that. But I find no sense in saying "I want a force of such an amount of Newtons as a reference". What am I missing?
We need a force that'll cancel the effect of the disturbing force so the rock remains on the same position. Assuming you accurately measure all the variables entering the system to disturb it, the reference can be an instantaneous opposite force...subject to the most recent disturbing force input.
You are awesome sir!
Sir, u are really awesome.....
Which one is more stable system
Yes! Took a while but I found it.
Thank you Sir
how 1/ms^2 came? really confused.im new to control theory. can someone please help?
thank u brian
Thank you Sir.#Respect
Thank you!!!
