Transfer Function approach is used extensively in
design but is limited to linear, time-invariant systems.
1. T.F. method to express output relative to input
2. T.F. system property independent of the nature
of excitation
3. T.F. contains necessary units but does not provide
physical structure of system
4. If T.F. is known, then response can be evaluated
due to various inputs
5. If T.F. is unknown, it can be established
experimentally by measuring output response due to
known measured inputs

pendulum at a distance L gives

Ip = mL2 Ip = mL2&&
The moment about P due to the mass on the pendulum is

M = mgL sin
The general moment equation becomes

mgL sin = m L2&& + m L&x& cos
