    Sketching a root locus by hand can be done by following some simple rules. However, more important than actually being able to sketch to plot is being able to use our knowledge to design compensators in the S-plane. Understanding how poles and zeros affect a closed loop control system allows you to predict what you need in order to build a stable system just by looking at the root locus.

    You are the reason many future engineers pass control systems and receive their degrees. Please keep up the good work!

    "Each open-loop pole has its open-loop zero friend and they draw a path between the two. And if a pole or a zero doesn't have a friend then they go off to infinity searching for them."

    One of my favorite controls books is "Control Theory Second Edition" by JR Leigh.  There are a lot of great books that describe the theory and show you the math, but this book explains most of the concepts in words. I think engineers can get a good understanding of "why" the theory as opposed to"what's" the theory from this book.

    This channel has genuinely made me want CZcams to implement a "Buy this guy a beer" button. Your videos are all so damn straightforward to understand, and you've taught me more in two days than I've managed to understand from 19 hours of lectures on the subject. Thank you so so much.

    I have learned so much from watching your videos. I'm taking a controls course right now and I thought it was awful until I came upon your videos. The material is extremely cool but my professor teaches purely the mechanics and it's frustrating to not understand how this stuff applies to the real world. You do a great job at making the material interesting and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make these.

  • @JimCAhn
    @JimCAhn Před 10 lety

    This and part 2 are excellent videos helping one grasp the concepts of a root locus sketch. However, I wish the comment at the end of part 2 about this not answering the university required questions such as intercepting the imaginary axis etc. was mentioned as a disclaimer in the beginning of this video. I am grateful that I now understand the principles, but I now have to spend additional time researching videos that explain those other rules, which I will need to know for exams (but never again in real life, thanks to Matlab). Still a big thumbs up!
