Matlab Dynamic System Simulations

This document demonstrates Matlab simulations of step responses for mass-damper and mass-spring-damper dynamic systems using two techniques: 1) state space equations and 2) transfer functions. Two systems are modeled - a mass-damper system and a mass-spring-damper system. The response plots for each system and technique are shown.

Examples of simulations using Matlab


Two methods of simulting dynamic systems are demonstrated:
1. Technique 1 uses state equations
2. Technique 2 uses transfer functions
Two systems are considered: a mass-damper and mass-spring-damper system.

% MASS-DAMPER VELOCITY SIMULATIONS (First order system)
% Technique #1 - Using state space matrices: xdot=Ax+Bu, y=Cx+Du
% Defining system variables
m=1;
b=1;
% Defining the A,B,C,D matrices
A=-b/m;
B=1/m;
C=1;
D=0;
sys=ss(A,B,C,D)
subplot(2,2,1) %figure(1)
% The step command simulates the response of the system to a step input and plots the
result.

% Technique #2 - Using the coefficients of the transfer function, V(s)/F(s)=(1/(ms+b))

% MASS-SPRING-DAMPER VELOCITY SIMULATIONS (Second order system)
% Simulating a second order system is very similar. Consider a MSD system:
