15.2 SECOND ORDER STEP RESPONSE


Second order systems tend to have a first order decay, but they also have a sinusoidal component.

Consider the example,



These systems have a well know time function, as is pictured below. This particular response is for a step input function.



These systems are commonly described using the natural frequency and the damping coefficient.



Consider the example,
