1. LaPlace Transforms
2 with use of
Matlab:

2. Worked Example:
1. Laplace Transforms
Rewrite the equation in terms of its Laplace
Transforms (see table)
2. Insert initial conditions = 0 and = 0
(i.e. displacement & velocity at t=0s)
3. Rearrange for
and if possible combine separate RH
fractions into one.
Identify the transfer function.

3. Next steps can be done by hand
or by using Matlab Ilaplace
transform:
