Q4. Consider a simplified model for a human leg mechanism shown in Fig.1(a). The model assumes an applied muscular torque Tm, viscous damping D, at the hip joint, and inertia J, around the hip joint. The weight of the leg is Mg, where M is the mass of the leg and g is the acceleration due to gravity. (PS: The leg is of uniform density, the weight can be applied at L2, where L is the length of the leg.)
(A). Please derive the nonlinear dynamic equation of the system. (5%)
(B). Apply system linearization at =0 and find the transfer function GP(s)=sTm(s).(5%)
(D). Let J=0.5(Kg-m2),D=0.1N-mrads,M=1(Kg),L=0.2(m) and g=9.8(ms2).
Please design a PD-controller as shown in Fig. 1(b) such that the closed-loop system is with 10% overshoot and 0.1(sec) setting time. (10%).
(E). What is the steady state output when a step input R(s)=1s is applied?(5%)
