2. Objectives • Study the open-loop performance of an electro-hydraulic position control system. • Study the use of Bode plots to create the open and closed loop transfer functions for the electro-hydraulic position control system using experimental data.

3. Procedure Outline • Review • Study the electro-hydraulic position control system • Frequency Response • Common Bode Plots • Experiment 1: Use function generator to apply sinusoidal input, use output to create Bode Plots and Transfer Functions.

4. Procedure Outline • Experiment 2: Use signal analyzer to create Bode Plots, using plots create Transfer Functions. • Experiment 3: Use signal analyzer to measure close loop response and compare this to the theoretical response.

5. Review Outline • Frequency Response • Bode Plots • Experimental System

7. Frequency Response Figure 1: General SISO System Are these the same?

8. Frequency Response (Con’t) Figure 2: Input-Output response relationship

9. But what if we want to study the system in the frequency domain?

10. Frequency Response (Con’t) Laplace Transform: Figure 3: Plant diagram. How do we change from continuous to frequency domain? s → jω Magnitude Frequency Response: Phase Frequency Response:

11. If the ω changes, the magnitude of output signal (B) and the phase (φ)of output signal will change. • As a consequence, the value of |G(jω)| and ∠G(jω) will change.

13. Bode Plots: Case 1 20 log|K| dB 0 rad/s 0 degrees 0 rad/s

14. Bode Plots: Case 2 20 -20 dB/decade dB 0 0.1 1 10 rad/s -20 Phase angle 0 -90 degrees

15. Bode Plots: Case 3 -20 dB/decade 20 log|K| 0 1 rad/sec 0 -90 degrees

16. Bode Plots: Case 4 -20 dB/decade

17. Bode Plots: Case 4 -45 -90

18. Bode Plots: Case 5 Can we simplify? What does ξ really mean? Can we let ξ equal some value to help simplify the equation? ξ = 1

19. Bode Plots: Case 5 The equation from the last slide may be written as: -90 -180 -40 dB/decade All we need to do is double both of the plots from Case 4
