Using Kirchhoff’s laws:
1. Sum voltages or around loops or sum currents at nodes (least effort in algebraic).
2. Write the differential equations for the cct.
3. Take Laplace transforms.
4. Solve for the transfer function.

 To develop a technique for simplifying the solution for future problems, take the Laplace transform of the
equations in the voltage-current column of Table 2.3, assuming zero initial conditions.

Solve for I(s); then substitute into Eq. 2.74,

Eq. 2.66 is obtained after the simplifications.

Example: Find the transfer function, X(s)/F(s), for the system in Fig. (a)

- What is the relationship between the input and output acc. to (table 2.4)?

Force-displacement
1. Assume the mass is traveling toward the right.
2. Thus only the applied force points to the right.
3. All other forces act to opposite side.
4. Spring, viscous damper, and force due to acceleration point are to the left.

Skill-Assessment Exercise 2.8

We can write the equation of the motion using:

[sum of impedances] X(s) = [Sum of applied forces]

Rotational Mechanical System Transfer Functions
Same way as translation mechanical systems, except:
- Torque replaces Force
- Angular displacement replaces displacement
- Same components, except which undergo rotation

From Fig., as gears turn, because of same distance
is travelled along each gear’s circumference, thus:

or

Assuming gears are lossless:

translation energy of force F(t) x displacement X(t) = rotational energy of torque T(t) x angular displacement θ(t)
