Lab Experiment # 02

Implementation of Mathematical Modeling of a Physical System in MATLAB of the


following

• Mass‐Spring System Model

Objective:
The objective of this exercise is to grasp the important role mathematical models of
physical systems in the design and analysis of control systems. We will learn how MATLAB
helps in solving such models.
Apparatus:

• Computer having MATLAB software

Theory:

• Mass-Spring System Model


Consider the following Mass-Spring system shown in the Figure 2.1. Where Fs(x) is the
spring force, Ff is the friction coefficient, x(t) is the displacement and Fa(t) is the applied force:

The linear differential equation of second order describes the relationship between the
displacement and the applied force. The differential equation can then be used to study the time
behavior of x(t) under various changes of the applied force. In reality, the spring force and/or the
friction force can have a more complicated expression or could be represented by a graph or
data table. It is shown in Figure 2.2. For instance, a nonlinear spring can be designed such that

• Solving The Differential Equation Using MATLAB:


The objectives behind modeling the mass-damper system can be many and may include
• Understanding the dynamics of such system
• Studying the effect of each parameter on the system such as mass M, the friction
coefficient B, and the elastic characteristic Fs(x).
• Designing a new component such as damper or spring.
• Reproducing a problem in order to suggest a solution.
