Root Loci for Positive-Feedback Systems01:23

Root Loci for Positive-Feedback Systems

477
The Hartley oscillator is a positive feedback system that sustains oscillations by feeding the output back to the input in phase, thereby reinforcing the signal. Positive feedback systems can be viewed as negative feedback systems with inverted feedback signals. In these systems, the root locus encompasses all points on the s-plane where the angle of the system transfer function equals 360 degrees.
The construction rules for the root locus in positive feedback systems are similar to those in...

Routh-Hurwitz Criterion I

753
Consider an electrical power grid, where stability is essential to prevent blackouts. The Routh-Hurwitz criterion is a valuable tool for assessing system stability under varying load conditions or faults. By analyzing the closed-loop transfer function, the Routh-Hurwitz criterion helps determine whether the system remains stable.
To apply the Routh-Hurwitz criterion, a Routh table is constructed. The table's rows are labeled with powers of the complex frequency variable s, starting from the...

Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II

1.3K
In the application of the Routh-Hurwitz criterion, two specific scenarios can arise that complicate stability analysis.
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...

Series RLC Circuit without Source

3.0K
Within the field of electrical circuits, source-free RLC circuits present an intriguing domain. These circuits comprise a series arrangement of a resistor, inductor, and capacitor, operating independently of external energy sources. Their initiation hinges upon utilizing the initial energy stored within the capacitor and inductor to instigate their functionality. Their mathematical equation, a second-order differential equation, sets these circuits apart. This equation captures how the...

Types of Responses of Series RLC Circuits

2.3K
A second-order differential equation characterizes a source-free series RLC circuit, marking its distinct mathematical representation. The complete solution of this equation is a blend of two unique solutions, each linked to the circuit's roots expressed in terms of the damping factor and resonant frequency.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator

2.7K
An RLC circuit combines a resistor, inductor, and capacitor, connected in a series or parallel combination.
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...

Background:

  • The Rössler system is a fundamental low-dimensional dynamical system.

Main Results:

  • A periodic window was identified with parameters extremely close (distance < 2×10⁻²²) to the classical Rössler system values.
  • Numerical analysis of convergence properties for periodic attractors was performed.

Conclusions:

  • The existence of a nearby periodic window provides critical insight into the Rössler attractor's behavior.
