Rise Time - Rise Time in Control Applications

Rise Time in Control Applications

In control theory, for overdamped systems, rise time is commonly defined as the time for a waveform to go from 10% to 90% of its final value.

The quadratic approximation for normalized rise time for a 2nd-order system, step response, no zeros is:

where ζ is the damping ratio and ω0 is the natural frequency of the network.

However, the proper calculation for rise time from 0 to 100% of an under-damped 2nd-order system is:

where ζ is the damping ratio and ω0 is the natural frequency of the network.

Famous quotes containing the words rise, time and/or control:

    It is the dissimilarities and inequalities among men which give rise to the notion of honor; as such differences become less, it grows feeble; and when they disappear, it will vanish too.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    Now it is time to call attention
    to our bed, a forest of skin
    where seeds burst like bullets.
    We are in our room. We are in
    a shoe box. We are in a blood box.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Have we any control over being born?,” my friend asked in despair. “No, the job is done for us while we’re sleeping, so to speak, and when we wake up everything is all set. We merely appear, like an ornate celebrity wheeled out in a wheelchair.” “I don’t remember,” my friend claimed. “No need to,” I said: “what need have us free-loaders for any special alertness? We’re done for.”
    Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist. The Self-Devoted Friend, New Directions (1967)
