In second order underdamped system ?

Correct answer: B. Decay ratio = (overshoot)2

  • A. Decay ratio = overshoot
  • B. Decay ratio = (overshoot)2
  • C. Overshoot increases for increasing damping co-efficient
  • D. Large damping co-efficient means smaller damping

Explanation

For an underdamped second-order system, successive peak amplitudes have a decay ratio equal to exp[-2πζ/√(1−ζ²)], while the fractional overshoot is exp[-πζ/√(1−ζ²)]. Therefore, the decay ratio equals the square of the overshoot fraction.
