The object of this work is to study the optimal control strategy of constant speed characteristics for a D.C control motor under influence of disturbance. In the course of the analysis, the linearization and time invariance schemes on motor dynamics are presumed throughout under certain prescribed conditions and the performance measure for optimality is assumed to be quadratic in state and the control effort, with the initial and final time specified. When the motor speed is deviated from a stationary operating point by any external disturbance, the optimal continuous feedback control law is investigated by the application of the calculus of variation and realizability of the required control meachanism is suggested. Finally, the comparative study of the speed reasponses of the motor, with and without the optimal control effort is also presented to confirm the obtained results.
