SYSTEM THEORY LAB

Experiment 2: Simulation of nonlinear system dy

AIM:
Using Matlab, to simulate the dynamics of a nonlinear system (the nonlinear model
of the simple pendulum).

THEORY :

The nonlinear state equation of the simple pendulum is given by

θ̈=ω

ω̈=−g sin θ

PROCEDURE :

i. Write two MATLAB files: one, the ‘main’ script file, and the other, a function
file containing the state equation. Call the function file from the main file. For
simulation of the nonlinear state equation, use the RK-4 approximation,
implemented in MATLAB as ode45, whose syntax is given below:
[t X] = ode45(‘function name’, tspan, X0)
ii. Plot the graphs of the states X vs. time t.

MATLAB CODE :

EXPERIMENT 2 : SIMPLE PENDULUM


%%Main script

clear all, clc;

global G;

G=10;

X0=[0.1; 0]; %%Initial conditions

tspan=0:0.1:10;

This method is followed when nonlinear systems are given


[t x] = ode45('simplepend', tspan, X0); %%syntax : [t x] = ode45(fun_name, tspan, X0)

theta = x(:,1);
omega = x(:,2);

figure(1)
plot(t, theta, t, omega),
legend('\theta','\omega'),
ylabel('time'),
title('System response')
grid on
