generate step response with given parameters K, wn and zeta

K - DC gain; wn - natural frequency; zeta - damping ratio;

% choose some K, wn and zeta
K = 3.5;
wn = 10;
zeta = 0.05; % choose low damping so that it takes longer to settle

% we can always generate a unit step response using TF defined by K, wn, zeta
sys = tf(K*wn^2, [1 2*zeta*wn wn^2]);
% obtain the data for step response of the 2nd order TF
Tf = 20; % collect the step response between 0 and Tf
[y, t] = step(sys, 0:0.002:Tf); % UNIT response data
% plot step response

plot(t, y, 'r')

estimate the full step response graph given partial data from figure 1

the problem in Lab 5 was, as seen in figure 1, the response was highly oscillatory and when we collected data, we gave a short time window. say in figure 1, we only collected the step response data for a time window 4 sec.

trimIdx = find(t>4, 1, 'first');
figure(2)
plot(t(1:trimIdx),y(1:trimIdx),'b')
xlabel('time [s]')

% the question is: is it possible to use the graph between t = 0 and t = 4
% to estimate K, wn and zeta of the 2nd order TF such that we can project
% the step response graph from t = 4 on? if possible, we can concatenate
% the projected graph between t = 4 and t = 20, and the data we already got
% between t = 0 and t = 4; the combination of the two would complete the step
% response of a 2nd order TF, i.e.,
% (partial real data + projection = complete response), then you can call your
% script to calculate Mp, tr, ts.

use the data shown in figure 2 as an example, to estimate K, wn and zeta

sampled five peak values in figure 2 using data cursor t1 = 0.314; y1 = 6.491; t2 = 0.944; y2 = 5.683; t3 = 1.572; y3 = 5.094; t4 = 2.202; y4 = 4.664; t5 = 2.832; y5 = 4.35;

% use (t1, y1) through (t5, y5) to estimate K, wn and zeta
% the time domain solution of unit response of second order TF
% y(t)=K*(1-1/sqrt(1-zeta^2)*exp(-zeta*wn*t)*sin(wn*sqrt(1-zeta^2)*t+acos(zeta)))
% --- let's say it is eqn.(+)

% denote damped natural frequence as wd = wn*sqrt(1-zeta^2)
% period is the time difference between adjacent peaks, T = 2*pi/wd
Tavg = mean(diff(tSample));
wd = 2*pi/Tavg; % = wn*sqrt(1-zeta^2), so we know wn times some zeta equals a number

% use data points (t1,y1), (t2,y2), (t3,y3)
% denote M = 1/sqrt(1-zeta^2)*exp(-zeta*wn*t1)*sin(wd*t1+acos(zeta))
%        N = exp(-zeta*wn*T)
% by eqn.(+) above, we have
% y1 - y2 = K*M*N - K*M = K*M*(N-1)         --- eqn.(2)
% similarly,
% y1 - y3 = K*M*N^2 - K*M = K*M*(N-1)*(N+1) --- eqn.(3)
% divide eqn.(3) by eqn.(2), we have
% N + 1 = (y1-y3)/(y1-y2)
% so N = (y1-y3)/(y1-y2) - 1                --- eqn.(N cal.)
% note that N by this method, is independent of M, we can repeat this
% using data points (t2,y2), (t3,y3), (t4,y4)
%                   (t3,y3), (t4,y4), (t5,y5) ...
%                   (t(n),y(n)), (t(n+1),y(n+1)), (t(n+2),y(n+2))

N1 = (y1-y3)/(y1-y2) - 1;
N2 = (y2-y4)/(y2-y3) - 1;
N3 = (y3-y5)/(y3-y4) - 1;
Navg = mean([N1 N2 N3]);
% according to the notation of N
% now we have
% zeta*wn = -log(N)/T
% also by notation of wd
% sqrt(1-zeta^2)*wn = 2*pi/T

% solve for wn and zeta by using N and T
% we need to call numerical solver fsolve for a system of nonlinear
% equations
% note: you need Optimisation Toolbox in order to use fsolve
x0 = [.5; 2];  % init guess for zeta and wn
% call solver; check funcWnZetaVal, it should be almost 0

Equation solved.

fsolve completed because the vector of function values is near zero
as measured by the default value of the function tolerance, and
the problem appears regular as measured by the gradient.
