MAE 340: Quiz 1 Solution

A system is modeled by the homogeneous LTI ODE:

x
(t) + 4x(t)
+ 43.5x(t) = 0

with x(0) = 4, x(0)

=0

a) Find the damping ratio, natural frequency, and settling time for the homogeneous solution
b) Sketch the homogeneous solution out to the settling time, including appropriate numerical values for both axes
(a) From the Characteristic Equation, we find:

2 + 4 + 43.5 = 0 2 + 2n + n2

n = 6.596

= 0.303

1,2 = 2 i6.285
settling = 4 = 2s

(b) From the roots of the Characteristic Equation,

xh (t) = Ae2t sin(6.285t + )
Use initial conditions to find A and :
x(0) = 4 = Asin , x(0)

= 0 = 2Asin + 6.285Acos
Thus
tan =

A=

We now plot xh (t) = 4.2e2t sin(6.285t + 1.26) for the period 0 t 2:
