Transfer function with time delay (dead time)

12 views (last 30 days)
The transfer function of the system is stable as it is seen in the figure? The denominator includes the exponential term is a violation of Routh Hurwitz criterion. I also did not draw the unit step response of the system. How do we implement a stability test for this system in Matlab? (BIBO, Lyapunov, etc.)

You can make a linear approximation of those time delays (Exponentials in the frequency domain) using the Pade Approximation:
Once you have your linear systems, you can just look at the poles of the system to determine (approximate) stability.
