• Responds to certain inputs by producing output.

• Here the vehicle is the system, the gas pedal is the input and the velocity of the vehicle is
the output.

• In general, systems can be classified into:


Static System Dynamic System

Recap from MA2006
• Laplace Transform has been covered in detail in Year 2 in MA2006.
• In the following slides, we will cover some important topics in Laplace Transform which
includes:
– Definition,
– Laplace transformations of basic time functions,
– Properties,
– Final value theorem to find steady state value, and
– Initial value theorem to find initial conditions.

Week 1 25
Why use Laplace Transform?
• Laplace transformation converts ordinary linear differential equations into algebraic
equations (that simplify the mathematical operations).
• The transformation helps us to solve any ordinary linear differential equations.
• Laplace table can be used to transform any linear expressions.

Definition of Laplace Transform
Consider a function f(t) s.t. f(t) = 0 for t < 0.
Let s = complex variable (s = σ + jω).
Then Laplace transform of f(t) is given by:

L  f t   F s    f t e  st dt

Common Notation Convention
Lower case letter denotes function of time, such as, f(t) = 2t
Capital letter denotes its Laplace transform, such as, F(s) = 2/s2
U(s) denotes L [u(t)], Vin(s) denotes L (vin), etc.

Let functions f(t) and g(t) be Laplace transformable.
Let h(t) = f(t) + g(t).
If F(s) = L (f(t)) and G(s) = L (g(t)),
then L (h(t)) = L (f(t) + g(t)) = L (f(t)) + L (g(t)) or H(s) = F(s) + G(s).

FVT relates the steady-state behaviour of f (t ) to the behaviour of sF(s) in the neighbourhood
of s = 0.
The theorem applies only if lim f (t ) exists, i.e., all the poles of F(s) lie in the left half s-plane

(and at most one pole on the imaginary axis). Negative pole

Pole = 0

Week 1 54
Initial Value Theorem (IVT)

f (0 )  lim sF ( s )
s 
f(t) and df(t)/dt are Laplace transformable and lim sF ( s ) exist.
s 

There is no restriction on poles location of sF(s), so it can be used for sinusoidal


functions.
The value of f(0+) can be obtained from the Laplace Transform of f(t).

Week 1 55
Remarks on FVT and IVT

Both theorems enable us to predict the system behaviour in time domain


without transforming the function from s back to time domain.

Both theorems also provide a convenient check on the solution.
