I never thought I'd see the day when someone could produce a youtube tutorial video which progresses in a logical way, makes sense throughout, doesn't have a highly irritating voice, uses a decent microphone and doesn't constantly fumble with it, stays on topic and has not just legible but actually impressively neat writing.. Thankyou so much, yours are the best tutorial videos I've seen. Please consider giving some lessons to Kahn Academy.
Wow as someone who's currently struggling with a flight controls class with a non native speaking professor and no controls theory background, this is GOLD ! Thanks so much
I am a fifth year Aeronautical engineering student, currently using root locus to design aircraft flight control systems. This fifteen minute video is a more complete, effective and absorbable explanation than I have been given throughout my degree.
Currently studying Electrical Engineering, I have to pass the final exam of Automatic Control, this videos were much more helpful than the entire course
Hello, I briefly cover that in my video called Stability of Closed Loop Control Systems starting at around 6 minutes. The even faster answer though is that the time response of a pole is e^st, where s is the location of the pole in the s-domain. If s is negative (left half plane) then as time get's larger e^st gets smaller (stable). If s is positive, then e^st gets larger as time increases. No matter how many poles you have, it only takes 1 unstable pole to drive the system to infinity.
Hey James, no problem. The transfer function is 1/(s^2 + 1.5s + k). For such a simple transfer this is the easiest way. Put the den. in standard form which would be s^2+1.5s+k = s^2+2*z*w*s+w^2. When k = 1.1 then it's easy to solve for the damping ratio. w = sqrt(1.1) =1.049. Then z = 1.5/(2*1.049) = 0.715. Of course the root locus is a good way to visualize how the damping ratio changes with k. On the diagram zeta = sin(angle between pole to origin and the vertical axis).
i got tears on my eyes when i watched your explanation, it is the greatest lesson i have heard in entire my life even though i am in a university with among of useless lecturers , thank you so much
It's wierd... I've been attending 3 lectures on system's theory and control theory during my university studies several years ago and I have the impression that the first 5 minutes of your video tought me a lot more about one of the most useful methods frequently used in control theory than all of the lectures together. Maybe my point of view is a little bit biased as there's a lot of previous knowledge so everything seems total intuitive. Anyway, I wished my professors had been as talented as you explaining and presenting stuff like that. Great video.
One of THE best videos I've ever seen on Control Systems. I learnt far more from your video than my control systems course at my university. Amazing explanation with wonderful insights! Hats off to you for producing such great work!
Not everyone got the skills to teach and nail it right there, I feel like I can obtain a degree just attending TH-cam videos, your videos are one of the reasons. Keep up the good work .
Thank you Brian for these videos. I am feeling like I am reborn after watching this. 10 mins of your video has taught me more than what 6 months of studies in my university have.
It's interesting to see just how much people appreciate good quality videos. Nearly a million views for the nerdiest content on TH-cam. Congrats and thank you for your work!
TH-cam University prevails again. I was not entirely grasping RL from my professor and the textbook. Just kind of head down and mathing into the unknown. Your video placed a ton of perspective into my study. Thank you Brian Douglas 🍻
Well put Trunks. If I don't have specific phase and gain margins I like root locus (especially to move poles around to meet requirements). For me it tends to make more sense. However, if I'm designing a filter for a sensor (lead, lag, band pass), I like the Bode plot. If all you want is for your system to be stable and you don't care whether it oscillates or has a certain damping ratio then all you need is for all poles to be in the left half plane. And that's easy to see with root locus.
The way you have explained the concept with very illustrative examples is fantastic. You are doing a great service to the engineering community by this effort. Please keep it up. Thank you.
If you write the transfer function in a different form, you can directly relate b and k to the damping ratio. TF = 1/(s^2 + b*s + k) => 1/(s^2 + 2*ζ*ω0*s + ω0^2) b = 2*ζ*ω0, and k=ω0^2 b = 2*ζ*sqrt(k) rearrange to ζ = b/(2*sqrt(k)) k is multiplied by factor p, sqrt(k) will multiply by a factor (sqrt(p)). To maintain at-least a 0.75 damping ratio, you'll have to multiply b by a factor of sqrt(1.1) = 1.049. b_new = 1.5*1.049 = 1.6 (only keeping significant digits)
Hi Brian, thank you for the lectures, I really appreciate your job. I'd like know if it is possible you make a PDF file of your video lectures allowing us check the notes later.
i must post this, i just came back from my exam "control systems" today. during my preparations i used all your videos about the root locus and the nyquist. I must say, thank you very very much Brain, because of you i managed to get the proper insight i needed. your techniek is awesome, good animated and keeps the interest locked on target! thanks many times bro
I have no words.. thumbs up from an undergrad of electrical and computer engineering! The intuition you give on this subject is amazing and really helpful . Keep the videos coming !!
If only 1/10 of the teachers had such a huge enthusiasm to make the students got the curicullum then people would love to go to school. Good teacher equals knowledge + fedback enthusiastic repetition till the understood lecture equals the determined level. :) Well done Brian!
i am racing against time to study for an exam which is about 8 hours away (it is my last ever exam at uni i might add), and 3 hours ago i was in utter panic that i will fail at the Root Locus problems that await me. i cant happily say: not anymore. why? because of your Root Locus lectures. Thank you.
oh my god.. Your video is so much helpful, I can't belive it,,, I am an university engineer student, and I actually think you teach way better than our proffessor, eventhough school I am attending is quite a good school.. thank you so much for lecture, have a good day!
You need to grow your channel and cover more topics. You just explained the 2.5 hours of confusing controls lectures I sat through in under 15 minutes.
Hi Anthony, I will be posting on Nyquist, but not for another month or so. I only put out videos once a week and I have a few other topics in work already. Hopefully you'll still find it useful even after your class is over :)
I met an old coworker of yours! She heard I was doing controls and immediately recommended your videos; I smiled and said, yes, I've watched every single one. If I taught the class, the lectures would just be practice problems, and the homework would be to watch your lectures. 😂 Also, at about 7:29, I thought the imaginary portion was the damped frequency, not the natural; I thought the requirement forms a circle. Anyone able to help me understand?
I am using this to study for a final right now, and I am so mad I didn't discover this earlier. This would have cleared up an entire semester's worth of confusion. Thanks for the explanation Brian, this is really well done.
You are awesome! Really great examples, practical applications, the graphs help a visual learner such as myself, and you draw awesome pictures and comics! Keep up the good work! I am so excited about control theory!
This is such a great video oh my god. Our teacher didn't even tell us what k is supposed to be. We just solve problems mindlessly. But you helped me to understand the meaning and the real use of the root locus. It was so intuitive that something just clicked in my brain. Also along the way, your explanation of the s plane helped me to fill in some gaps in understanding. The video was very engaging throughout. Thank you so so much!!!
Hi Ahmed, there are a lot of nuances when using general rules of thumb and they don't work in ever situation. If you have a 2nd order system and it has a damping ratio between 0 and 1 then you will have a system with imaginary roots and the cosine of phi works (or with zeta = 1 you have two repeating real roots). However, if you have a damping ratio greater than 1 then you have two real roots (which can be thought of as two 1st order systems) and you can't say zeta is the cosine of phi anymore.
4 minutes to get to know what I NEEDED. Dude,you have no idea how grateful I am. Perfectly explained. I should donate you to your Patreon or PayPal or whatever, for the coffee at least, you fucking deserve it.
Hi there, yes you are correct, the natural frequency should have been a circle. I thought I added an annotation explaining my error. I'll go check now and if I don't I'll add one. Thanks for reminding me.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH DR. BRIAN!! In a little over 10 minutes, you managed to teach a topic that I couldnt understand in 2 hours at class. You are extremely awesome for uploading these. We are eternally grateful! Liked and Subscribed! Its also amazing how you linked this to a real world engineering problem so well. It reminds one that engineering is not just numbers and maths but directly mirrors what goes on in reality. (btw, the "we messed up" cartoon was a brilliant idea!)
I'm so glad I came across your channel, because your videos are so superb. I'm sure other commenters have already given much praise, and so long ago, in more eloquent ways, so I'll just say "Thank you!"
@@prateekmuthiahnitap8447 Hello back! How are you doing? Also, are you studying for the JEE or another test? As for myself, I tutor in electrical engineering a bit, so I try to stay sharp...
Your are a talented instructor!! Excellent job on these tutorials --they move quickly, they're thorough, and your explanations are clear and presented in a very easy-to-understand fashion. Kudos and thank you.
This is a REALLY good explanation of this. I came for later R.Locus stuff but I decided to watch this intro video (so I understood 99% of it prior to watching). Your explanations are very thorough but concise. I have a friend taking Control Systems next term and I'm going to recommend your videos!
we dind`t learn any thing about the loucs root method but our teacher ask us to do a course work with this. thank for u help , your video helped me a lot !
At 7:30, you mention that natural frequency requirements dictate that the pole must lie inside a horizontal band. However, this would correspond to limiting the imaginary part of the mode. The natural frequency corresponds to the norm of the pole, which would mean the pole must lie inside or outside of a certain circle.
The night before an exam, this has got to be the best channel I've discovered on youtube. Our lecturer for the 3rd year control course has made an art form out of being vague. This has clarified so much. Is it possible to get a PDF of the video, like a combination of all the notes you've written during the video just on one long PDF.
My professor never explained everything up to 6:30 and just explained root locus and threw me off for half the semester. I should have skipped more classes!
I hope you won't ever take down these videos. It's still a little bit over my head but I expect to be coming back to these over and over again lol EDIT: I just noticed that I'm already subscribed. I must've seen another video series from you before. You're the best, thank you very much
YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS AGES AGO! I absolutely love the videos. To the point, interesting, amazing! Simply amazing! Thank you so much :) I have an exam I'm sure I'll pass thanks to you :) I'll even take up contlrol as an elective now coz you've made me understand and fall in love with it. THANK YOU!
Very well put together... I'm about to have to develop the root locus for a project I have in my controls class and this is so much better of an explanation in ~13 minutes than my professor has given in 3 lectures. Woo. Will continue watching the others -- thank you for posting this. xD
I have to say, i am not native speaking English, but anyways, I understood everything, well done on that tutorial... It was explained quite nice, and I think, it will help on my exams today. Thanks a lot for this video.
Love the "side notes" in your videos. It seems to me like these are things that have confused you in the past, and most likely confuse students (like myself) taking these courses.
viraj shelke and Suraj more, It's hard to explain in writing but I'll try. Start with the root locus form of the transfer function: G(s)/(1+K*G(s)) and then separate G(s) into numerator and denominator. N(s)/(D(s) + K*N(s)). Now if K is 0 then the transfer function is N(s)/D(s) which is G(s), so the roots start at the poles of the original transfer function. When K is increased the denominator D(s) + K*N(s) starts to behave more and more like just K*N(s) which are the zeros of the original transfer function. Does that help?
Brian Douglas sir , i have few problems , 1st ) there was a question where i was asked to plot the damping ratio line with just OS% given as 15% how do i do that? how to plot damping ratio line ? 2nd) how to calculate natural frequency & damping ratio in case of a 3rd order transfer function ? kindly please refer back...thank you!!
ID Jeet 1) There is an equation that relates %OS directly to zeta, %OS = exp[(-z*pi)/sqrt(1-z^2)]*100, where z is zeta (the damping ratio). There's a few ballpark, pre-calculated OS's that are good to remember, 5%, z=.7, 15%, z=.5, 35%, z=.3. So you would plot the z of .5 when given a OS of 15%. 2) 3rd order+ functions can always be broken into 1st and second order systems. You would simply factor out a first order to create a first order and a second order, and your natural frequency would be the frequency of the second order response.

NeroSkywalker which uni? xD
National university of singapore
Could it be that u did not listen during the courses? :d
Yeah probably didn't because his professor couldn't explain for shit like mine or didn't do any examples
Same here

I am subscribed to you forever.. A lecture have never been so clear..
Brian, you are amazing. Honestly. As an undergrad control system engineer, I am indebted to you!
You helped me understand the purpose of a root locus in 5 minutes better than my prof did in two lectures. Thank you.
You are literally the GOAT. You broke down a concept and explained it so well with amazing visualizations. This video deserves an award!
Thanks Brian. After 12 years in Control Engineering, This is the first time I have this level of understanding, which you provide.

love it when you find a video that gives more than you expected! thanks a lot bro and hope the book becomes a bestseller :D
viraj shelke and Suraj more, It's hard to explain in writing but I'll try. Start with the root locus form of the transfer function: G(s)/(1+K*G(s)) and then separate G(s) into numerator and denominator. N(s)/(D(s) + K*N(s)). Now if K is 0 then the transfer function is N(s)/D(s) which is G(s), so the roots start at the poles of the original transfer function. When K is increased the denominator D(s) + K*N(s) starts to behave more and more like just K*N(s) which are the zeros of the original transfer function. Does that help?
Brian Douglas sir , i have few problems , 1st ) there was a question where i was asked to plot the damping ratio line with just OS% given as 15% how do i do that? how to plot damping ratio line ? 2nd) how to calculate natural frequency & damping ratio in case of a 3rd order transfer function ? kindly please refer back...thank you!!
ID Jeet 1) There is an equation that relates %OS directly to zeta, %OS = exp[(-z*pi)/sqrt(1-z^2)]*100, where z is zeta (the damping ratio). There's a few ballpark, pre-calculated OS's that are good to remember, 5%, z=.7, 15%, z=.5, 35%, z=.3. So you would plot the z of .5 when given a OS of 15%.
2) 3rd order+ functions can always be broken into 1st and second order systems. You would simply factor out a first order to create a first order and a second order, and your natural frequency would be the frequency of the second order response.
ph7ryan thank you very much... that was helpful ..
GADDAMMIT!!!! thats the best explanation i've ever seen on youtube and I use to study from youtube.
