1 Laplace Transformation
rc
Transformation is a process using which a given mathematical form can be
converted to another equivalent form which can be handled conveniently.
Ci
The simplest example is the application of logarithm. The use of logarithm
converts multiplication and division respectively to addition and subtrac-
tion. Consider the transformation of rectangle, edges of which are parallel
e
to its reference coordinate axes, to an equivalent surface in another refer-
at
ence coordinate system. In the transformed shape, the edges may not be
parallel to its coordinate axes and it is possible to have edges in the curved

determined. This is similar to use of logarithm. Suppose if the product
nl
m × n is to be determined, first sum of logarithm of m and n is found. Then
anti-logarithm of the sum defines the product of m and n. One of the ad-
O
vantages of Laplace transformation is the ease with which the discontinuous
function in the governing equation can be handled.

L represents Laplace transformation, F (s) is the transformed function of
f (t) and s is the Laplace transformation variable. Laplace transformation
is defined if the integral exists. Laplace transformation exists if f (t) is
