Mathematical Models of Systems
In control theory, functions called transfer functions are
commonly used to characterize the input-output relationships
of components or systems that can be described by linear,
time-invariant, differential equations. We begin by defining
the transfer function and follow with a derivation of the
transfer function of a differential equation system.

Laplace transform:- is one of the mathematical tools used to


solve linear ordinary differential equations.
The Laplace transform converts the differential equation into
an algebraic equation in s-domain. It is then possible to
manipulate the algebraic equation by simple algebraic rules to
obtain the solution in the s-domain. The final solution is
obtained by taking the inverse Laplace transform.

The Transfer function TF
The transfer function of a linear, time-invariant, differential
equation system is defined as the ratio of the Laplace
transform of the output (response function) to the Laplace
transform of the input (driving function) under the
assumption that all initial conditions are zero.
Consider the linear time-invariant system defined by the
following differential equation:

where y is the output of the system and x is the input. The
transfer function of this system is the ratio of the Laplace
transformed output to the Laplace transformed input when all
initial conditions are zero, or

By using the concept of transfer function, it is possible to


represent system dynamics by algebraic equations in s. If the
highest power of s in the denominator of the transfer function
is equal to n, the system is called an nth-order system.

Transfer Function PROCEDURE:- The following steps are


involved to obtain the transfer function of the given system:
• Step 1 : Write the differential equations for the given
system.

• Step 2 : Take the Laplace transform of the equations


obtained in step1, with assumption; all initial conditions are
zero.

• Step 3 : Take the ratio of transformed output to input.

• Step 4 : The ratio of transformed output to the input,


obtained in step 3 is the required transfer function of the
given system.

Transient and Steady-State Response Analyses

The time response of a control system consists of two parts:


1. The transient response and
2. The steady-state response.

1. Transient Response:- The element of the system that


vanishes with time is called Transient response. It is denoted
by Ctr(t).
2. Steady-State Response:- The response of the system after
transient response is basically called steady state response. It is
denoted by Css(t).

The transient response characteristics of a control system to a unit-step
input, it is common to specify the following:
1. Delay time, td
2. Rise time, tr
3. Peak time, tp
4. Maximum overshoot, Mp
5. Settling time, ts

1. Delay time, td: The delay time is the time required for the response to
reach half the final value the very first time.
2. Rise time, tr: The rise time is the time required for the response to rise
from 10% to 90%, 5% to 95%, or 0% to 100% of its final value.
3. Peak time, tp: The peak time is the time required for the response to
reach the first peak of the overshoot.
4. Maximum (percent) overshoot, Mp: The maximum overshoot is the
maximum peak value of the response curve measured from unity.
5. Settling time, ts: The settling time is the time required for the response
curve to reach and stay within a range about the final value of size
specified by absolute percentage of the final value (usually 2% or 5%).
