Solution 8.8.3mtr3cy
The rst step is to get the data into MATLAB. The MATLAB statements
load mtr3stepc
t=mtr3stepc(1:500,1);;
y=mtr3stepc(1:500,2);;
plot(t,y)
print -deps sr883mtr3cya.eps
seperates the data into a column vector of times and a column vector of
responses, and then plots and saves the step response. shown in Figure`1
As can be seen the time response, whichwas taken o the oscilloscope, does

produces the adjusted reponse shonwinFigure 2.
We are nowinaposition to apply the identication techniques discussed
in Chapter 3. As a rst step, the MATLAB statements
maxy = max(y)
y1 = (max(y) + 0.0001) -y;;
w=log(y1);;
plot(t(1:300),w(1:300));;
print -deps 883mtr3cylny1.eps
produces the response shown in Figure 3. Note that the maximum resposne
was increased to0.001 to avoid ln(0).
The slope is roughly
;3:6=1:5=2:4:
So there is a pole around s = ;2:4.

Figure 3: Plot of ln(1;y(t)
Our next goal is to nd B using the MATLAB statements:
s=-3.6/1.5
Bv = (y - max(y))./exp(s*t);;
plot(t(1:150),Bv(1:150))
print -deps 883mtr3cyB.eps
B=mean(Bv(60:100))
A=mean(y(250:454))
Note that wehave used the MATLAB command:
./
to do an elementbyelement division using two matrices. The plotofB
versus time is shown in Figure 4. The values obtained are
A =3:7789 and B = ;6:0539:
These values havetheright relationship, at least, because weknow

We then take the natural logarithm of y

and plot it versus time. as shown
in Figure 5. This plot has a slope of about -2.5. We conclude that the
second pole is either very far to the left, or very close to the rst pole.
We will haveto\sh" a bit here. So wegoaheadandnd
C = ;(A + B)=;(3;;7789; 6:0539) = 2:2749:
and place the second pole at s = ;10. Weknow the pole is farther out, so
we start with this guess. Then our estimate of y(t)is
^y(t)=3:7789;6:0539e

our estimate goes negativeinitially.However, the overall t is not that bad.
The problem is probably our choices of B and C.Ratherthan try to adjust
B andC,wenowuse some of the MATLAB commands to nish up the
analysis. If weusethe MATLAB statments
K=A*abs(s)*abs(s1)
g=zpk([],[s s1],K)
T=linspace(0,0.4,449);;
[yhat1 T] = step(g,T);;
plot(t,y,'k-',T,yhat1,'k--')
print -deps sr883mtr3cyd.eps
we get the responses shown in Figure 7, and the t is prettygood, which
means our estimates of B and C are proably the problem.
