LAB 03: IMPLEMENTATION OF

TRANSFER FUNCTION OF MECHANICAL


SYSTEMS
Objective:
We will find the transfer function of a translational mechanical system. We will perform
tasks on LABVIEW and MATLAB.

Introduction:
A transfer function (also known as the system function or network function and, when
plotted as a graph, transfer curve) is a mathematical representation, in terms of spatial or
temporal frequency, of the relation between the input and output of a linear time-invariant
system with zero initial conditions and zero-point equilibrium. MATLAB and LABVIEW
provide functions for the implementation of transfer functions.

Equipment Required:
1. LABVIEW software

2. MATLAB software

Task 1: Symbolic Implementation of Transfer Function in LABVIEW

Procedure:
1. In the Block Diagram panel, right-click to open the Functions panel and select the Control
and Simulation menu.

2. Click on SISO Symbolic.

3. Select Model Construction.

4. Click on CD Construct Transfer Function Model.

5. Create Control of numerator, denominator, and variable.

6. From Model Construction, click on CD Draw Transfer Function Equation.

7. Now create an Indicator from the block.

Task 1:
Code:

% Define numerator and denominator coefficients


numerator = [12 12 36];
denominator = [32 288 456 400 272 96 0];
% Create the transfer function
sys = tf(numerator, denominator);
% Display the transfer function
disp('Transfer Function:');
disp(sys);
% Optional: Plot step response
step(sys);

Task 2:
Code:

% Define numerator and denominator coefficients


numerator = [2 9];
denominator = [15 40 118 132 54];
sys2 = tf(numerator, denominator);
disp('Transfer Function:');
disp(sys2);
step(sys2);

Conclusion:
In this lab, we learned how to derive and analyze the transfer function of a mechanical
system using LabVIEW and MATLAB. We used LabVIEW blocks to input the system's
numerator and denominator coefficients, allowing us to model and visualize the system
behavior. MATLAB was then used to simulate the same transfer function and analyze
system responses. This helped us understand the dynamic behavior of mechanical systems.
Overall, the lab enhanced our skills in system modeling and reinforced the importance of
transfer functions in control systems.
