Concept

A second-order transfer function is represented as:

\({C(s)\over R(s)}={ω_n^2\over s^2+2ζω_ns+ω_n^2}\)

where, ωn = Natural frequency

ζ = Damping ratio

The nature of damping with respect to the damping ratio is:

Damping ratio

Damping

ζ = 0

Undamped

0 < ζ < 1

Underdamped

ζ = 1

Critically damped

ζ > 1

Overdamped

Calculation

Given, \({C(s)\over R(s)}={20\over s^2+8s+20}\)

\(ω_n^2=20\)

ωn =4.472 rad/s

2ζωn = 8

\(\zeta={8\over 2\times 4.472}\)

ζ = 0.894

Hence, the system is underdamped.
