Laplace Transform ABE425 Engineering Measurement Systems
Agenda • Why do we need a Laplace Transform? • Definition Laplace Transform • Laplace Transform of common functions • Unit step function • Ramp function • Exponential function • Cosine/Sine • Impulse function (dirac delta) • Laplace Transform of Differentiation/Integration • Application: Step response of an Electric Dynamic system
What is the Laplace Transform used for? Time domain s-domain (Laplace Domain) • The Laplace Transform turns a differential equation in the time domain into an algebraic equation in the s domain • By inverse transformation we obtain the solution in the time domain • Allows us to write control schemes, such as PID control, in algebraic equations (function of s) • Definition
Example of an electric dynamic system i output input How do we find out what happens to the output if we kick it (give it a known input)? Laplace transform!!
Laplace transform of unit step function Definition Laplace Transform
Laplace transform of differentiation operation Remember: Product rule Integration by parts
Example of an electric dynamic system i Capacitor voltage: Kirchhoff Voltage Law: In input-output notation <- differential equation
Example of an electric dynamic system cont. Use Laplace Transform to study this dynamic system for instance the response to a step input
The unit of RC is second! • Ohm’s Law • Capacitor equation • Current is charge per second • Unit of RC = second
Translate the dynamic system to Laplace domain using unit step function as input
How do we transform this back to time domain? Partial Fraction Expansion
How do we transform this back to time domain? Output for = 20 s
Laplace transform of ramp function Integration by parts
Laplace transform of impulse (Dirac d distribution) Writing as McLaurin series Writing as McLaurin series
Check Laplace Transform of differentiation operation Example Is this correct?
