Why is it impossible to create an observer for this not fully observable system?

Consider a 1D point-mass moving along an axis. A force $u$ is applied as control. There is no gravity or other forces involved. The system can be described in state space equations as: $$\begin{align} A &= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ …

Controllability of $x' = Ax + Bu(t)$ implies controllability of $\left \{ \begin{matrix} x' = Ax + By \\ y'=u(t) \end{matrix} \right.$

Suppose that the system $$x'(t)=Ax(t)+Bu(t)$$ is controllable in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where $A$ is $n \times n$, $B$ is $ n \times m$ and $u(t)$ is $m \times 1$ Show that the system $$\left \{ \begin{array}{rclccc} x'(t) &=& Ax(t) &+& By(t)& \\…

Minimal realization of a MISO system

Given the following system: $$\dot{x} = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}x + \begin{bmatrix}0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} u$$ $$y = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} x$$ I need to find the minimal…

How to solve for discrete state space matrices given input and output

I have a set of time-series data that consists of inputs $u_k$ where $ u \in R $ and $k = 1 ... T$, and outputs $ y_k $ where $ y \in R^2 $ and also $k = 1 ... T$, from a given system. I believe this system can be modeled in discrete canonical…

LQR control effort / control bandwidth relationship

I'm working with a linear system, having given matrices A and B $$A = \left[\begin{array}{cc} 0 & 1 \\ -0.9 & 0 \end{array}\right]$$ $$B = \left[\begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 2 \end{array}\right]$$ assume we have full state and no feedtrough matrix $D$…

why Type III systems has at least two gain margins?

I heard the following statement https://engineering.stackexchange.com/a/54322/40848 if we have a type III system, or one that has three or more low-frequency poles that we're closing around, then we have at least two gain margins: a low-frequency…

Finding a signal output $y(n)$ with input signal $x(n)$ and impulse response $h(n)$ with a DTFT

I am studying for my Digital Signal Processing course and I am stucking on the following exercise: Given an $\text{LTI}$-system with input signal $$x(n)=\frac{1}{4^n}u(n)$$ and impulse response $$h(n)=\frac{1}{2^n}u(n),$$ calculate the output…

System identification of a simple motor with only position measurements

(Cross-posting from statistics stackexchange) Say we have a permanent-magnet DC motor that roughly obeys the system equation $$\ddot{x}(t) = \alpha \dot{x}(t) + \beta u(t) + \gamma $$ where $x(t)$ is the displacement of the rotor and $u(t)$ the…

Linear Nastran model not converging

I am running a SOL 101 linear statics FEA. If I fix down the whole geometry it converges. But anything less than around 90% fix down and it will sit there crunching away at the numbers forever. This is with no other boundary conditions, forces, etc.…

Lyaponuv stability condition of linear systems for homogenous P in V(x) = x^T P x

I am currently learning about using Lyaponuv functions to find Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) as conditions for stability of a linear time invariant system. i.e. $$ \dot{x}(t) = Ax(t) $$ is stable if there exists a function $V(x)$ such that…

how do i formulate a kalman filter for an upwash coefficient?

I want to make a kalman filter that will estimate the upwash coefficient $C_{\alpha_{up}}$ my state vector: $ X_k=[u \ v \ w \ C_{\alpha_{up}} ]^T $ My measurement vector: $ Z_k =[\alpha_m \ \beta_m \ V_m]^T $ My control input vector: $ U_k =[\dot…

Why are the phase indicators different between the open loop bode plot and the closed loop bode plot?

I have an open-loop transfer function G num=105*conv([1 1],[1 2 43.25]); den=conv([2 0 0],conv([1 2 82],[1 2 101])); G=tf(num,den); and a closed-loop function of G/(1+G). Here are the open-loop bode diagram and closed-loop bode diagram for that…

What is the effect of the resonant frequency of the system function Porter diagram on the stability of the system and how to analyze it?

I am a novice in automatic control, the theoretical basis is not very good. We have a large electric clamping jaw, single degree of freedom, the motor is controlled by the torque output, the motor has a maximum stable clamping stiffness (This…

Estimating the effective area and temperature coeffecient of a solar panel

I have a bunch of solar panels, each one is connected to an inverter. For each solar panel I have two sensors, a wind and a west sensor. From every inverter, I collect the power output. The readings are collected for every 5 minutes, and I have a…

Looking for a linear actuator that can carry a transverse load? Does such a product exist?

I am looking for a product that works like a linear actuator where you can control how far it extends but it can also hold a transverse load at the furthest point of extension. What I am looking for would be similar to common consumer models such as…
