Introduction
To understand and control complex physical systems,
we need their mathematical models.
To obtain mathematical models, we need the
relationship between the system variables.
As the systems under consideration are dynamic in
nature, then this relationship is in the form of
differential equations.

A nonlinear system can be described by a linear model


for a small range of input values around an operating
point.
ME464-Sys Dyn & Ctrl Spring-2013

Dr. Shaukat Ali

Linearization
To find the linear model of a nonlinear system f(y)
We expand f(y) into a Taylor series around the operating
point or equilibrium point (yo, f(yo)):
f ( y ) f ( yo )

y o df

1!

y yo

yo d f

If the variation around the operating point, y y y o is


small, then we may neglect the higher-order terms:
f ( y ) c y

This approximation results in a linear (straight line)


relationship

Laplace Transform (LT)

ME464-Sys Dyn & Ctrl Spring-2013

Dr. Shaukat Ali

Laplace Transform (LT)


LT is a mathematical tool that:
Transforms many time (t) domain functions f(t) into algebraic
functions F(s) of a complex domain (s).
Provides an algebraic way to solve linear time invariant
differential equations.
Can be used to predict the system performance without
actually solving system differential equations.

Signal-Flow Graph Terms


Input node (Source)
A node that has only outgoing branches (example: node Y1)

Output node (Sink)


A node that has only incoming branches (example: Y4)

Path
A branch or a continuous sequence of branches that can be
traversed from one node to another node

Forward path
A path that starts at an input node and ends at an output node with
no node traversed more than once (example: Y1 to Y2 to Y3 )

Loop
A path that originates and terminates on the same node with no
other node traversed more than once. (four loops in example)

Signal-Flow Graph Terms


Path gain
The product of the branch gains encountered in traversing a
path.
For example, the path gain for the path Y1-Y2-Y3-Y4 is
G12G23G34

Forward-path gain
The path gain of a forward path

Loop gain
The path gain of a loop

Non-Touching loops
Two loops are non-touching if they do not have a common
node
