Lecture #9: Time Domain Analysis of Second Order Systems|Fundamentals of Control Engineering(Part 2)

This lecture was delivered at East China University of Technology, Nanchang, China, during the Winter 2025 semester (September 2025) as part of the Fundamentals of Control Engineering course.

In this lecture, we study the Time Domain Analysis of Second Order Systems, one of the most important topics in control engineering for understanding oscillatory and transient behavior of dynamic systems. The lecture explains the characteristics of second-order systems, damping conditions, time-domain specifications, and the relationship between pole locations and system response using the s-plane.

Introduction to Second Order Systems
Difference between first-order and second-order responses
Effect of system parameters on transient response
General Transfer Function of Second Order Systems
Open-loop and closed-loop transfer functions
Undamped natural frequency (ωn)
Damping ratio (ζ)
Determination of damping ratio and natural frequency from transfer functions
Classification of Second Order Systems:
Overdamped systems
Underdamped systems
Undamped systems
Critically damped systems
Pole locations and system behavior
Time-Domain Specifications:
Delay time (td)
Rise time (tr)
Peak time (tp)
Maximum overshoot (Mp)
Settling time (ts)
