In summary, the problem involves finding the output function y(t) for an input function x(t) = sin t and a transfer function block with a Laplace transform of 1/(s+1). The solution method involves using Laplace transforms and partial fractions to get the inverse Laplace transform of the output function. The final answer simplifies to y(t) = 0.707(sin(t-45 degrees)), but the reasoning for ignoring the first term and the negative sign in the second term is unclear.

Find y(t) for, x(t) = sin t and TF of a block is 1/(s+1)

Homework Equations


Using Laplace of Input and then multiply laplace with TF to get O/P laplace and then doing Laplace Inverse

The Attempt at a Solution


Images are pasted below.
Typed solution:

Transfer Function block is 1/ (s + 1)

Input to block is X(t) = sin t.

I have to find Y(t) that is output from block.

X(t) = sin t

Laplace transform.

X(s) = 1/(s2 + 1)

Y(s) = X(s) multiple with T.F.

= {1/ (s2 + 1) }{(1/(s+1)}

Breaking 1/(s2 + 1) into 1/((s+j)(s-j))

= (1/(s + j)} multiply {1/(s - j)} multiply { 1/(s + 1) }

Rearranging
= { 1/(s + 1) } multiply (1/(s + j)} multiply {1/(s - j)}

Using partial fractions

Y(s) = A/(s + 1) + B /(s+j) + C/(s-j) This is Equation 1

1 = A (s + j) (s - j) + B (s + 1) (s - j) + C (s + 1) (s - j)

Substituting values to get A, B, C

Put s = -1
1 = A(s2 + 1) + 0 + 0
1 = A (2)[/B]
A = 1/2

Put s = -j
1 = 0 + B (-j + 1) (-2*j) + 0
1 = B(-2 - 2j) = -2B (1 + j)

B = -1 / [2(1+j) ]

Put s = +j
1 = 0 + 0 + C (1 + j) (2j)
= C(2j - 2) = -2C(1 - j)

C = -1/[2(1 - j)]

Substituting A, B, C in Equation 1 we get

Y(s) = 1/[2(s+1)] - 1/[2(1+j)(s+j)] - 1/[2(1-j)(s-j)]

(taking 1/2 out common)

= (1/2 ) (1/(s + 1) - 1/[(1+j)(s+j) - 1/[(1-j)(s-j)]

Doing laplace inverse (the italics part will be in inverse)

y(t) = (1/2) (e-t) - (e(-jt)/(1+j) + e(jt)/(1-j))

Getting rid of denominator (blue italics part) by cross multiplying
1/((1+j) (1- j)) = 1/2


= (1/2) (e-t - (1/2)( e-jt (1 - j) + e(jt (1 + j) ))

In second term Substituting e-jt as cos t - j sin t
and in third term substituting e jt as cos t + j sin t

y(t) = (1/2)(e-t - (1/2) ( (cos t - j sin t ) (1 - j) + (cos t + j sin t) ( 1 + j) )) Equation 2

Solving green part (cos t - j sin t ) (1 - j) + (cos t + j sin t) ( 1 + j)


= cos t
- j cos t - j sin t - sin t + cos t + j cos t + j sin t - sin t

Red terms gets added (same sign)
Blue terms gets cancelled(opposite sign)
Pink terms gets canceled (opposite sign)
Underlined terms get added (same sign)

Then the above green part reduces to 2 cos t - 2 sin t

Putting this in green part of equation 2
y(t) = (1/2)(e-t - (1/2)(2)(cos t - sin t))

Underlined part nullifies each other

y(t) = (1/2) ( e-t - (cos t - sin t)

Taking the (1/2) inside the brackets

y(t) = (1/2)(-t) - (1/2)(cos t - sin t)

Breaking this (1/2) as (1/sqrt 2) (1/sqrt 2)
as (1/sqrt 2)(sin 45) or (1/sqrt 2)(cos 45)

y(t) = (1/2)(e-t - (1/sqrt 2) (cos t. sin (45) - sin t. cos 45) )

= (1/2)(e-t ) - (1/sqrt 2)(sin(45 - t) )
(sin (45 - t) ) = ( - (sin ( t - 45) )


y(t) =(1/2)(e-t ) + (.707)(sin t - 45)
This is final answer that I get.


However in the answer they've removed the first term. They've only kept the second term of sine wave.
Why did they remove the first term?

I've pasted the images of my attempt.
Input is sin t,
so I've laplace it and I get 1/(s2 + 1)

Multiple this with TF (1/(s+1)) we get laplace of O/P
as
1/[(s2+1)(s+1)]

Break this into partial fractions and then doing laplace inverse.

But in answer they've not put first term. They've just put answer as
0.707 (sin (t - 45 degrees))

I don't know why they've ignored first term of e^(-t) / 2 and where did the negative sign go for second term.
I checked twice but couldn't figure out how the first term vanishes.

I will not look at posted images, but will be happy to comment on your work if you type it out (as per PF standards!).

Hi,
I've typed out the solution. Thanks. An error came to me which wasn't in my earlier attempt. But still there is one trouble I am facing.

It is easier to NOT do partial fractions all the way down to linear factors. Using
$$\frac{1}{(s^2+1)(s+1)} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{s+1} -\frac{1}{2} \frac{s-1}{s^2+1}$$
is much easier, because the inverse transforms of ##1/(s^2+1)## and ##s/(s^2+1)## are well-known and widely available in tables, etc.

The answer that I (or, rather, Maple) gets is
$$y(t) = \frac{1}{2} e^{-t} + \frac{1}{2} \left( \sin t - \cos t \right). $$
The exponential term is most definitely present, although in the limit of large ##t > 0## it essentially dies away, leaving only the trigonometric part. Perhaps the book was giving you the asymptotic results for large ##t > 0.##

I do not like the use of "degree" measurements in problems of calculus, so I would write ##\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin(t - \pi/4)##. Of course, if you are stuck using a book that uses degrees, I guess you really have no choice.

Yes i got same answer as you got. But I didn't understand how the first term is not shown in book. What's an asymptotic?
I plotted graph in computer and I got that for large values the first term vanishes.

An "asymptotic approximation" for large ##t## is one where some terms that go to zero rapidly are dropped.

The formal definition of asymptotic behavior is that two functions ##f(t)## and ##g(t)## are asymptotic for large ##t##, denoted as ##f(t) \sim g(t)##, if
$$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{f(t)}{g(t)} = 1.$$
In other words, in computations we can essentially replace ##f(t)## by ##g(t)## to a good degree of relative error when ##t## is large. Of course, we would want to do that only if ##g(t)## is somehow simpler or easier to compute than ##f(t)##.

Note that I said small "relative" (%) error, not small absolute error. The absolute error may be large but the asymptotic form may still be useful. For example, Stirling's formula states that for large ##n## we have
$$n! \sim St(n) = \sqrt{2 \pi n}\, n^n e^{-n}.$$
For example ##10! = 3628800##, while Stirling's formula gives ##3598695.61874##. The difference is about ##30104.381##, which is not at all small, but the relative error is ##(10 - St(10))/10! = 0.8295960373\: 10^{-2}##, which is about ##0.83 \%##. For large ##n## the absolute error ##n! - St(n)## grows larger but the relative error ##(n! - St(n))/n!## grows smaller.

FAQ: Find y(t) for, x(t) = sin t and TF of a block is 1/(s+1)

1. What is the relationship between x(t) and y(t) in this scenario?

The relationship between x(t) and y(t) is given by the transfer function (TF) of the block, which is 1/(s+1). This means that y(t) is equal to the input x(t) multiplied by the TF. In other words, y(t) = x(t) * 1/(s+1).

2. How do you find y(t) for x(t) = sin t?

To find y(t) for x(t) = sin t, we first need to take the Laplace transform of x(t) to get X(s). In this case, the Laplace transform of sin t is 1/(s^2 + 1). We then multiply X(s) by the TF of the block, which is 1/(s+1). Finally, we take the inverse Laplace transform of the resulting expression to get y(t).

3. Can you provide a step-by-step solution for finding y(t)?

Yes, here is a step-by-step solution for finding y(t) for x(t) = sin t and a TF of 1/(s+1):
1. Take the Laplace transform of x(t): X(s) = 1/(s^2 + 1)
2. Multiply X(s) by the TF: Y(s) = X(s) * 1/(s+1) = 1/(s^2 + 1)(s+1) = 1/(s^3 + s^2 + s + 1)
3. Take the inverse Laplace transform of Y(s) to get y(t): y(t) = sin t * (e^-t + cos t - sin t)

4. Is there a specific method or formula for finding y(t) given x(t) and a TF?

Yes, there is a standard method for finding y(t) given x(t) and a TF. This method involves taking the Laplace transform of x(t) to get X(s), multiplying X(s) by the TF, and then taking the inverse Laplace transform of the resulting expression to get y(t). The specific steps may vary depending on the complexity of the expressions involved, but this method can be used for any x(t) and TF.

5. How does the TF of the block affect the output y(t)?

The TF of the block affects the output y(t) by acting as a filter or modifier for the input x(t). In this scenario, the TF of 1/(s+1) attenuates the input signal x(t) and introduces a phase shift. This means that the amplitude and phase of y(t) will be different from that of x(t), and the output will also be delayed by a certain amount of time determined by the inverse Laplace transform of the TF.
