Chapter 2 : Laplace Transform

Introduction:

The main idea behind the Laplace Transformation is that we can solve an

equation (or system of equations) containing differential and integral terms

by transforming the equation in "t-space" to one in "s-space". This makes the

problem much easier to solve. The kinds of problems where the Laplace

Transform is invaluable occur in electronics..

If needed we can find the inverse Laplace transform, which gives us the

solution back in "t-space".

Definition of Laplace Transform

Let be a given function which is defined for . If there exists a

function so that

,

Then is called the Laplace Transform of , and will be denoted by

. Notice the integrator where is a parameter which may be

real or complex.

Thus,

The symbol which transform into is called the Laplace transform

operator.

3. Complex Roots

Another case that often comes up is that of complex conjugate

roots. Consider the fraction:

The second term in the denominator cannot be factored into real terms. This

leaves us with two possibilities - either accept the complex roots, or find a

way to include the second order term.

Simplify the function F(s) so that it can be looked up in the Laplace

Transform table.

Solution:

Another way to expand the fraction without resorting to complex numbers

is to perform the expansion as follows.

𝐴 =𝑠 + 3

How To Complete The Square

Given a term of the form

αs2+bs+c

it is often useful to express it as

(s + d)2+e

This is often useful when solving certain quadratic equations. In our case it

lets us more easily use Laplace Transform Tables (in the table the form

(s+a)2+ω02 comes up frequently).

Without loss of generality, we will only consider the case where α=1. If we

divide the original equation by through by α and let b=β/α and c=γ/α, we

get

s2+bs+c

and our task is to express it as

(s+d)2+e

We start by setting the two terms to be equal to each other

x2 + bx + c = (x+d)2 + e

Expand the right hand side

x2 + bx + c = x2 + 2dx + d2 + e

Equating the coefficients of like powers of x we get

b = 2d,

c = d2 + e or d = b/2, and e = c - d2

Laplace Transform

SARIATI DALIB Page 34

Example 1: Completing the square

Complete the square for the expression: s2+2s+10

Solution:

The original function is of the form "s2 + bs + c", so b=2, c=10, and

d = b/2 = 1

e = c - d2 = 10 - 1 = 9.

The desired expression is "(s+d)2 + e" or (s+1)2+9

Thus : s2+2s+10 = (s+1)2+9

Example 2: Completing the square

Complete the square for the expression: x2+4x+29

Solution:

The original function is of the form "x2 + bx + c", so b=4, c=29, and

d = b/2 = 2

e = c - d2 = 29 - 4 = 25.

The desired expression is "(x+d)2 + e" or (x+2)2+25

Thus , x2+4x+29 = (x+2)2+25

Using Inverse Laplace Transforms to Solve Differential Equations

The Laplace Transform Of A Derivatives

Let f(t) be a function of f and let F(s) be the laplace transform of f. The value

of f and its derivatives when t=0 are denoted by f(0) , f’(0) , f’’’(0) and so on.

The nth derivatives of f is denoted by fn(t). Then it can be shown that the

laplace transform of fn(t) is given by:

fn(t). = Sn F(s) – Sn-1 f(0) – Sn-2 f’(0) …….f(n-1)(0)

Two common cases are when n=1 and n=2:

f1 (t) = SF(s) – f(0)

f2 (t) = S2 F(s) – S1 f(0) – f ’(0)

Example 1: Derivatives

Q: The laplace transform of f(t) is F(s). Given f(0) = 2 and f’(0) = -3. Write

b) f 11 (t)

Solution:

b) 𝐹(𝑠) = 𝑠2𝐹(𝑠) − 𝑠𝑓(0) − 𝑓′(0) = 𝑠2𝐹(𝑠) − 2𝑠 + 3

Laplace Transform in RL Circuit

Example 1: RL circuit

By using laplace transform, find i(t) when switch is close at t= 0. The initial

current value i(0) = 0.

Solution:

Derive the circuit equation in t-domain then transform these differential

By KVL:

Example : RL circuits

In the circuit shown below , the switch is in position (a) for along time and is

moved to position (b) at t= 0. Find the current i(t) whn t>0.

Solution:

When the switch is at position (a) , the 12Ω resistor and 0.4H inductor in series

are excited by 10V source. Now , the inductor stores electrical energy in the

form of current.

When the switch is at position(a)

As the switch is at position a for long time, the circuit will be in a steady state

and the inductor behaves as a short circuit for DC. Hence , current in the

circuit is

𝑖(𝑡) =𝑉

𝑅=

𝑖(𝑡) =5

The switch is moved tp position b at t=0. The circuit is now energized by the

60V source, and the response of the circuit is due to the initial current in the

inductor and the 60V source

At t= 0, the switch is moved to position b and that instant, the current in the

inductor due to the previous operation is

At t = 0 , the

The current is known as initial current and its direction is in the same direction

of assumed current i9t) due to 60V source as shown in figure b. by applying
