Ready to GO !?
Disclaimer: the following slides are a quick review of Linear, Time Invariant systems
If you feel a bit disoriented think:a. I can easily read up on it (references will be given)b. Its VERY simple if you’ve seen it before (i.e. intuitive).c. This part will be over soon.

Lumpedness and causality
Definition: a system is lumped if it can be described by a state vector of finite dimension. Otherwise it is called distributed.Examples: • distributed system: y(t)=u(t- t)
• lumped system (mass and spring with friction)
Definition: a system is causal if its current state is not a function of future events (all ‘real’ physical systems are causal)

Linearity and Impulse Response description of linear systems Definition: a function f(x) is linear if
(this is known as the superposition property)
Impulse response: Suppose we have a SISO (Single Input Single Output) system
system as follows:
where: y(t) is the system’s response (i.e. the observed output) to the
control signal, u(t) . The system is linear in x(t) (the system’s state) and in u(t)

Linearity and Impulse Response description of linear systems Define the system’s impulse response, g(t,), to be the
response, y(t) of the system at time t, to a delta function control signal at time (i.e. u(t)=t) given that the system state at time is zero (i.e. x()=0 )
Then the system response to any u(t) can be found by solving:
Thus, the impulse response contains all the information on the linear system

Time Invariance
A system is said to be time invariant if its response to an initial state x(t0) and a control signal u is independent of the value of t0.So g(t,) can be simply described as g(t)=g(t,)
A time linear time invariant system is said to be causal if
A system is said to be relaxed at time 0 if x(0) =0 A linear, causal, time invariant (SISO) system that is
relaxed at time 0 can be described bycausal
relaxed ConvolutionTime invariant

Using Laplace Transform to Solve ODEs The Laplace transform is a very useful tool in the
solution of linear ODEs (i.e. LTI systems).
Definition: the Laplace transform of f(t)
It exists for any function that can be bounded by aet (and s>a ) and it is unique
The inverse exists as wellLaplace transform pairs are known for many
useful functions (in the form of tables and Matlab functions)
Will be useful in solving differential equations!

Using Laplace Transform to Analyze a 2nd Order system Consider the unforced (homogenous) 2nd order system
To find y(t):
Take the Laplace transform (to get an algebraic equation in s)
Do some algebra
Find y(t) by taking the inverse transform
characteristic polynomial determined by Initial condition

2nd Order system - Inverse Laplace The solution of the inverse depends on the
nature of the roots 1,2 of the characteristic polynomial p(s)=as2+bs+c:• real & distinct, b2>4ac • real & equal, b2=4ac • complex conjugates b2<4ac
In shock absorber example:a=m, b=damping coeff., c=spring coeff.
We will see: Re{} exponential effectIm{} Oscillatory effect
