evans

Evans root locus

Syntax

evans(H [,kmax])

Arguments

H

SISO linear system given by a transfer or a state space representation (see:syslin).

kmax

real (maximum gain desired for the plot )

Description

Gives the Evans root locus for a SISO linear system in state-space or transfer form H(s) (syslin). This is the locus of the roots of 1+k*H(s)=1+k*N(s)/D(s), in the complex plane. For a selected sample of gains k <= kmax ,the imaginary part of the roots of D(s)+k*N(s) is plotted vs the real part.

To obtain the gain at a given point of the locus you can activate the datatips manager and click the desired point on the root locus.

Examples

H=syslin('c',352*poly(-5,'s')/poly([0,0,2000,200,25,1],'s','c'));
clf();evans(H,100);sgrid()
[Ki,s]=kpure(H) // Gains that give pure imaginary closed loop poles
plot([real(s) real(s)],[imag(s) -imag(s)],'*r')

[Kr,s]=krac2(H)
