Linear Approximation in Time Domain01:21

Linear Approximation in Time Domain

Nonlinear systems often require sophisticated approaches for accurate modeling and analysis, with state-space representation being particularly effective. This method is especially useful for systems where variables and parameters vary with time or operating conditions, such as in a simple pendulum or a translational mechanical system with nonlinear springs.
For a simple pendulum with a mass evenly distributed along its length and the center of mass located at half the pendulum's length, the...

Application of Linearization and Approximation

A drone flying through complex terrain often relies on more than one sensing method to estimate small changes in altitude. Along with direct measurements, air pressure provides a useful indirect indicator of vertical movement. Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases, and this relationship is commonly described using an exponential model. Although accurate, converting pressure measurements into altitude values requires calculations that are too complex to perform repeatedly during...
Linear Differential Equations01:27

Linear Differential Equations

The integrating factor method provides a systematic way to solve first-order linear differential equations, especially those that cannot be handled by separation of variables. This method is particularly useful in modeling time-dependent physical systems influenced by both constant inputs and resistive forces. A common example is the motion of a car subjected to a constant engine force while experiencing air resistance proportional to its velocity.In such scenarios, Newton’s second law yields a...
Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain01:26

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain

Linear systems are characterized by two main properties: superposition and homogeneity. Superposition allows the response to multiple inputs to be the sum of the responses to each individual input. Homogeneity ensures that scaling an input by a scalar results in the response being scaled by the same scalar.
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
Scaling01:26

Scaling

In designing and analyzing filters, resonant circuits, or circuit analysis at large, working with standard element values like 1 ohm, 1 henry, or 1 farad can be convenient before scaling these values to more realistic figures. This approach is widely utilized by not employing realistic element values in numerous examples and problems; it simplifies mastering circuit analysis through convenient component values. The complexity of calculations is thereby reduced, with the understanding that...
Curves Defined by Parametric Equations01:21

Curves Defined by Parametric Equations

A baseball hit into the air follows a parabolic trajectory when air resistance is neglected. The motion can be described within a two-dimensional coordinate system, where both the horizontal displacement and vertical height are functions of time. Instead of expressing the trajectory as a single function of position, the motion is modeled using parametric equations: one function for the horizontal position and another for the vertical position as time progresses. Let the horizontal position be...
