Transform Theory
7.1 Laplace Transform
The Laplace transform method solve differential equations and corresponding intial and boundary value
vroblems, The process of solution consists of three main steps:
1ststep: The given “hard” problem is transformed into a "simple" equation (subsidiary equation)
2nd step: The subsidiary equation is solved by puraly algebraic manipulations
*e solution of the subsidiary equation is transformed back to obtain the solution of the given
inthis way Laplace transforms reduce the problem solving aaiferential equation to an algebraic problem
[IS Process is made easier by tables of functions and ther transforms, whose ‘ole is similar to that of integral
ables in calculus.
This switching from operations of calculus to algebraic operations on transforms is called operational
alculus, a very important area of applied mathematics, and for the engineer, the Laplace transform method is
ractically the most important operation method. It is particularly useful in problems where the mechanical or
tectrical driving method. Its particularly useful in problems where the mechanical or electrical driving force has
'scontinuities, s impulsive or is a complicated periodic function, not merely a sineor cosine. Another operational
rethod is the Fourier transform,
The Laplace transform also has the advantage that it solve initial value problems directly, without fist
Gtermining @ general solution. also solves nonhomogeneous dferential equations directly without first solving
'e corresponding homogeneous equation.
System of ODES and partial differential equations can also be treated by Laplace transforms.

-5.1Differential Equations, Initial Value Problems
We shall now discuss how the Laplace transform method solved differential equations.
We begin with an initial value problem.
V+ ay+by= db) (
WO) = Ky ¥O)= Ky,
with constant aand b, Here (7) is the input (driving force) applied to the mechanical system and y(t) is the
Put (response of the system). In Laplace's method we do three steps.
‘Ist Step: Taking Laplace transform of LHS and RH of 1 we get
Uy) + ally) + BLY) = LUn,
Now substituting L(y) = st(y)~f(0) and Liy”) = s? L(y)— sf(0)-F(0). we get
[SLY ~ 50) ~ ¥(0)] + afsL(y) - 40)] + by = L(n.
Now writing Y= L(y) and R= (9). This gives
[S°¥(s) ~ 10) - ¥(O}] + als¥{s) - (0)] + by = Als)
‘This is called the subsidiary equation. Collecting Y-tetms, we have
(8+ as+ bMS) = (s+ a) AO) + (0) + As). 2nd Step: We solve the subsidiary equation algebraically for Y. Division by s* + as + band use of the so-
called transfer function
as)
+as+b
gives the solution
Vs) = [(s+a)y(O)+ y(O)JAs) + Als) As) ii)
IF (0) = (0) = 0, this is simply Y= RQ, thus Qs the quotient
= X, Houtput)
~ R° Lfinputy
and this explains the name of Q. Note that Q depends only on a and bb, but does not depend on either if)
or on the initial conditions,
3rd Step. We reduice (ii) (usually by partial fractions, as in calculus) to a sum of terms whose inverse can be
found from the table, so that the solution y(#) = L(Y) of (i) is obtained.
Initial problem: Explanation of the basic steps
Yry HO) = 1. ¥(0) = 1
By taking Laplace transform of LHS and RHS of y"- y = t, we get the following subsidiary equation
+ SLUy)— 80) - ¥(0)- Ly) = US, thus (@—1)Y¥= s+ 1+ Us
where Y= L(y)
2nd step.
The transfer function is Q= 1(s*= 1), and
s( 9
ard Step.
From this expression for Y, we obtain the solution by inverse Laplace transform as follows
