In previous topic, we discussed the analysis and
design sequence that included obtaining the system's
schematic and demonstrated this step for a position control
system. To obtain a schematic, the control systems
engineer must often make many simplifying assumptions in
order to keep the ensuing model manageable and still
approximate physical reality.
The next step is to develop mathematical models
from schematics of physical systems. We will discuss two
methods: (1) transfer functions in the frequency domain and
(2) state equations in the time domain. As we proceed, we
will notice that in every case the first step in developing a
mathematical model is to apply the fundamental physical
laws of science and engineering. For example, when we
model electrical networks,
Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws, which are basic laws of
electric networks, will be applied initially. We will sum
voltages in a loop or sum currents at a node.CONTROL

A system represented by a differential equation is
difficult to model as a block diagram. Thus, we now lay the
groundwork for the Laplace transform, with which we can
represent the input, output, and system as separate entities
Further, their interrelationship will be simply algebraic. Let us
first define the Laplace transform and then show how it
simplifies the representation of physical systems.
The Laplace transform is defined as:
00
LFO)=Fs)= | f(Qe“ae
where s = a + jw”, a complex variable. Thus, knowing f(t) and
that the integral in Eq. above exists, we can find a function, F(s),
that is called the Laplace transform of f(t).Val & The inverse Laplace transform, which allows us to find f(t)
\ given F(s), is
