Study Notes

State Space Representation

  • State space representation is a way to model systems using differential equations.
  • The state space equation is: x(t) = φ(t)x(0) + ∫φ(t-τ)u(τ)dt

Natural Response and Forced Response

  • The natural response is the response of the system due to initial conditions.
  • The forced response is the response of the system due to external inputs.

State Transition Matrix

  • The state transition matrix is a matrix that describes the transition of the system from one state to another.
  • The state transition matrix is calculated as: φ(t) = e^(At)

State Diagrams

  • State diagrams are graphical representations of systems.
  • They show the relationships between the state variables and the inputs.

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

  • Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are used to analyze the stability of systems.
  • They are calculated from the system matrix A.

State Space Trajectory

  • The state space trajectory is a graphical representation of the system's behavior over time.
  • It shows the trajectory of the state variables in the state space.

Equilibrium Point

  • The equilibrium point is the point where the system reaches a stable state.
  • It is calculated by setting the derivative of the state variables to zero.

Solution of State Equations

  • The solution of state equations involves finding the state variables as a function of time.
  • It can be done using Laplace transform or other methods.

Example 1: Mechanical System

  • A mechanical system is a system that involves mechanical components such as springs and masses.
