The Laplace Transform

Suppose that f is a real- or complex-

valued function of the (time)variable t > 0

and s is a real or complex parameter.
We define the Laplace transform of f as

The Laplace Transform

Whenever the limit exists (as a finite number).

When it does, the integral is said to converge.

If the limit does not exist, the integral is said

to diverge and there is no Laplace transform

defined for f .

The Laplace Transform

The notation L ( f ) will also be used to

denote the Laplace transform of f.

The symbol L is the Laplace transformation,

which

acts

on

functions

f =f (t) and

generates a new function, F(s)=L(f(t))

Example:
Then,

provided of course that s > 0 (if s is

real). Thus we have
L(1) =
(s > 0).

The Laplace Transform of (t

a)
To obtain the Laplace transform of (t

a), we write

and take the transform

The Laplace Transform of (t

a)
To take the limit as k 0, use lHpitals
rule

This suggests defining the transform of (t

a) by this limit, that is,

Inverse of the Laplace

Transform
In order to apply the Laplace

transform to physical problems, it

is necessary to invoke the inverse
transform.
If L(f (t))=F(s), then
the inverse Laplace transform
is denoted by,

s-Shifting: Replacing s by s a in
the Transform

EXAMPLE of s-Shifting: Damped

Vibrations
Q. To find the inverse of the
transform :-

Solution:Applying the inverse

transform, using its linearity

and completing the square, we
obtain

 We now see that the inverse of the right

side is the damped vibration (Fig. 1)

Example : Unrepeated Complex

Factors. Damped Forced Vibrations
Q.Solve the initial value problem for a

damped massspring system,

y + 2y + 2y = r(t), r(t) = 10 sin 2t
if 0 < t < and 0 if t > ; y(0) = 1, y(0)
= 5.
Solution. From Table 6.1, (1), (2) in Sec. 6.2,
and the second shifting theorem in Sec. 6.3,
we obtain the subsidiary equation

We collect the Y-terms, (s2 + 2s + 2)Y,

take s + 5 2 = s + 3 to the right, and
solve,
(6)
For the last fraction we get from Table 6.1
and the first shifting theorem
(7)
continued

In the first fraction in (6) we have

unrepeated complex roots, hence a partial
fraction representation

Multiplication by the common denominator

gives
20 = (As + B)(s2 + 2s + 2) + (Ms + N)
(s2 + 4).
We determine A, B, M, N. Equating the
coefficients of each power of s on both sides
gives the four equations
