Introduction to MATLAB and Simulink, Solution of Differential Equations

Using MATLAB and Simulink and Transfer Function Based Modelling

PRE-LAB: IMPLEMENT EXAMPLE CIRCUIT IN SIMULINK.

In these tasks, circuit’s equation was implemented to obtain the output across capacitor. Circuit’s
equation was obtained by KVL and the resultant equation was in the form of derivative. Along
with the derivative equation, coefficients were multiplied with some terms as well. These
coefficients are denoted by Gain block in block diagram. Four different inputs were applied at
the input of same circuit i.e. step, impulse, ramp and sinusoidal as per demanded in the question.

TASK 2: USE THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL, COMPUTED IN IN-LAB TASK 02,

AND FIND ITS STATE SPACE REPRESENTATION USING MATLAB.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS:
In this lab we learned about transfer functions in MATLAB and the
implementation of control systems in MATLAB using Simulink block diagram.
There are many functions used for building linear models in MATLAB. We
came to know about the different commands of the MATLAB and performed
various tasks to explore them. There are normally four types of representations
are used in MATLAB for representing linear models. This lab also concerned
the transfer function-based modelling i.e. plotting, calculating different
parameters of a same transfer function. Furtherly, we verified the same results
using different commands to learn that one thing can be achieved through many
ways.
