H(s) x(t)y(t) 8.b Laplace Transform: Y(s)=X(s) H(s) The Laplace transform can be used in the solution of ordinary linear differential equations. Let’s consider a system whose x(t) is the input, y(t) is the output. The Laplace transform of the output is the product of the input and the transfer function. We can define the Laplace transform of a function of a f(t) and the inverse Laplace transform of a function of a F(s). The Laplace operator is shown as

Final value theorem teoremi: The Laplace transforms of derivatives are given as The transforms of higher order derivatives can be written as well. When t goes to infinity, the value of the limit can be calculated from the Laplace transform. Final Value Theorem: For Exponential/Harmonic functions, when the value of their limit is arrived, it is called as the time at which the steady state value is achieved.

Impulse function Δ(s)=1 u(t):Step function 1 0 Laplace Transform of Impulse and Step Functions: The Laplace transform of the impulse and step functions dependent on t is given in Table. Step function is a change from zero to one in a very short time. Impulse function is a brief pulse called an approximation of an impulse.

a=[1,4,14,20];roots(a) Eigenvalues: Impulse Response: (Example (8.1) continued) -1±3i, -2 Let’s find the impulse response for Example 8.1. In order to find the inverse Laplace transform, we should apply the partial fraction expansion to the transfer function. Remember that, we can find the eigenvalues as below. If the input is impulse, its Laplace transform equals to 1. The Laplace transform of the output equals to transfer function itself. Taking the inverse Laplace transform, we can find the impulse response. Here, h(t) is the impulse response. : Inverse Laplace Transform of H(s)

If the eigenvalues of the system are found, we can write the expression as below. In the process of the partial fraction expansion, denumerators contain eigenvalues while numerators contain the constants to find the response. If eigenvalues are in a complex form, constants in the numerators are in the complex form. The Partial fraction expansion means that the fraction is expressed as a sum of a polynomial and several fractions with a simpler denominator. We can find the portions with the command “residue” in MATLAB program. p1 is the numerator of the transfer function. p2 is the denumerator of the transfer function. p1=[1,3]; p2=[1,4,14,20]; [r,p,k]=residue(p1,p2)

Partial fraction expansion: r(1)= i, r(2)= i, r(3)=0.1 The command of “residue” gives the results assigning the variables, r, p, and k. The constants are assigned to the variable of r. The eigenvalues are assigned to the variable of p. The variable of k is zero because the order of polinom in the denumerator is higher than the order of polinom in the numerator. The values of r are found as The form of the partial fraction expansion of the transfer function is

By using the preceding Table, we can find the inverse Laplace transforms of H(s). The inverse Laplace transform of the first two terms is in the form of Ae -t cos(3t-φ) and Ae iφ =2( i). We can find A and φ by MATLAB commands as follow. z= i 2*abs(z) phase(z) A and φ are found as a= ve φ= The inverse Laplace transform of the last term is in the form of 0.1e -2t. We can write the impulse response of h(t) as

Impulse response is the time behaviour of the output of a general system when its inputs change suddenly in a very short time.

Step Response: y(t) : Inverse Laplace Transform of Y(s) Eigenvalues : -1±3i, -2and 0 Let’s find the unit step response for Example 8.1. The Laplace transform of the output equals the product of 1/s and transfer function. We can find the step response y(t) by taking the inverse Laplace transform of Y(s). By process of the partial fraction expansion, Y(s) is written as

p1=[1,3]; p2=[1,4,14,20,0]; [r,p,k]=residue(p1,p2) r(1)= i, r(2)= i, r(3)=-0.05, r(4)=0.15 We can write a MATLAB program to find the fractions. The program gives the results as The inverse Laplace transform of the first two terms is in the form of Ae -t cos(3t-φ) and Ae iφ =2( i). Y(s) is written in the form of the partial fraction expansion. Then, we can write the unit step response of y(t) as

Step response is the time behaviour of the outputs of a general system when its inputs change from zero to one in a very short time.
