17.1 INTRODUCTION
Laplace transforms provide a method for representing and analyzing linear sys-
tems using algebraic methods. In systems that begin undeflected and at rest the Laplace ’s’
can directly replace the d/dt operator in differential equations. It is a superset of the phasor
representation in that it has both a complex part, for the steady state response, but also a
real part, representing the transient part. As with the other representations the Laplace s is
related to the rate of change in the system.
The basic definition of the Laplace transform is shown in Figure 17.2. The normal
convention is to show the function of time with a lower case letter, while the same func-
tion in the s-domain is shown in upper case. Another useful observation is that the trans-
form starts at t=0s. Examples of the application of the transform are shown in Figure 17.3
for a step function and in Figure 17.4 for a first order derivative.

The previous proofs were presented to establish the theoretical basis for this
method, however tables of values will be presented in a later section for the most popular
transforms.
The process of applying Laplace transforms to analyze a linear system involves the
basic steps listed below.

Laplace transform tables are shown in Figure 17.5, Figure 17.7 and Figure 17.8.
These are commonly used when analyzing systems with Laplace transforms. The trans-
forms shown in Figure 17.5 are general properties normally used for manipulating equa-
tions, and for converting them to/from the s-domain.

Figure 17.10 Drill Problem: Converting from the s-domain to time domain
shown in the mass-spring-damper example in Figure 17.11. In this case we assume the
system starts undeflected and at rest, so the ’D’ operator may be directly replaced with the
Laplace ’s’. If the system did not start at rest and undeflected, the ’D’ operator would be
replaced with a more complex expression that includes the initial conditions.

ASIDE: Here ’D’ is simply replaced with ’s’. Although this is very convenient, it is
only valid if the initial conditions are zero, otherwise the more complex form,
shown below, must be used.

Impedances in the s-domain are shown in Figure 17.12. As before these assume
that the system starts undeflected and at rest.

Figure 17.13 shows an example of circuit analysis using Laplace transforms. The
circuit is analyzed as a voltage divider, using the impedances of the devices. The switch
that closes at t=0s ensures that the circuit starts at rest. The calculation result is a transfer
function.

At this point two transfer functions have been derived. To state the obvious, these

Output functions normally have complex forms that are not found directly in trans-
form tables. It is often necessary to simplify the output function before it can be converted
back to the time domain. Partial fraction methods allow the functions to be broken into
numerical methods - 17.13
smaller, simpler components. The previous example in Figure 17.15 is continued in Figure
17.16 using a partial fraction expansion. In this example the roots of the third order
denominator polynomial, are calculated. These provide three partial fraction terms. The
residues (numerators) of the partial fraction terms must still be calculated. The example
shows a method for finding resides by multiplying the output function by a root term, and
then finding the limit as s approaches the root.

The flowchart in Figure 17.18 shows the general procedure for converting a func-
tion from the s-domain to a function of time. In some cases the function is simple enough
to immediately use a transfer function table. Otherwise, partial fraction expansion is nor-
mally used to reduce the complexity of the function.

Figure 17.18 The methodology for doing an inverse transform of an output function
Figure 17.19 shows the basic procedure for partial fraction expansion. In cases
where the numerator is greater than the denominator, the overall order of the expression
can be reduced by long division. After this the denominator can be reduced from a polyno-
mial to multiplied roots. Calculators or computers are normally used when the order of the
polynomial is greater than second order. This results in a number of terms with unknown
resides that can be found using a limit or algebra based technique.

Figure 17.20 shows an example where the order of the numerator is greater than
the denominator. Long division of the numerator is used to reduce the order of the term
until it is low enough to apply partial fraction techniques. This method is used infrequently
because this type of output function normally occurs in systems with extremely fast
response rates that are infeasible in practice.

This cannot be solved using partial fractions because the numerator is 3rd order
and the denominator is only 2nd order. Therefore long division can be used to
reduce the order of the equation.

Figure 17.22 shows another example with a root to an exponent. In this case each
of the repeated roots is given with the highest order exponent, down to the lowest order
exponent. The reader will note that the order of the denominator is fifth order, so the
resulting partial fraction expansion has five first order terms.

Algebra techniques are a reasonable alternative for finding partial fraction resi-
dues. The example in Figure 17.23 extends the example begun in Figure 17.22. The equiv-
alent forms are simplified algebraically, until the point where an inverse matrix solution is
used to find the residues.

For contrast, the example in Figure 17.23 is redone in Figure 17.24 using the limit
techniques. In this case the use of repeated roots required the differentiation of the output
function. In these cases the algebra techniques become more attractive, despite the need to
solve simultaneous equations.

It is not necessary to develop a transfer functions for a system. The equation for the
voltage divider is shown in Figure 17.28. Impedance values and the input voltage are con-
verted to the s-domain and written in the equation. The resulting output function is manip-
ulated into partial fraction form and the residues calculated. An inverse Laplace transform
is used to convert the equation into a function of time using the tables.
