Description

This program analyzes the deflection response of a mechanical

system and the transient analysis of a RLC circuit. The program lets
you choose between a mechanical system and an electrical system and
then you can input the required values then plot the output response.
The plot is simulated from the respective block diagrams of the
electrical and mechanical systems which are developed using the D.E.
Models of the systems. Simulink is used to construct the block
diagrams and the constant values needed that were inputted in MATLAB
GUI were set as variables in the block diagrams. The values of the
variables inputted are in the current workspace and the command simset
was used to configure so that the current workspace was used to
simulate the Simulink model.

Program

Clicking the mechanical system button will show the diagram and
the input button and axes. Set the values for the unit force, spring,
damper, and mass and then click the ‘Plot Deflection Response’ button
to plot.

 Clicking the electrical button will show the RLC circuit diagram
and edit boxes. Input the values for the resistor, inductor,
capacitor, and input voltage and then click the ‘Plot Output Response’
button to plot.

D.E Model
The D.E. Model of the mechanical system:
From the free-body diagram:

Fk
Fm F (u(t))
MASS
Fb

The equation of motion is:

F=Fk+Fm+Fb
D.E Model is:

̈ =𝐹 −
𝑥(𝑡)
𝑘
𝑥(𝑡) −
𝑏 ̇
𝑥(𝑡)
𝑚 𝑚 𝑚

 The D.E. Model of the electrical system:

Using KVL:
Vin-Vr-VL-Vc=0
Vc=Vo
𝑑2𝑖
Vin-i(R)-L𝑑𝑡2 − 𝑉c=0
𝑉𝑖𝑛 𝑅 1
𝑉𝑐̈= 𝐿𝐶 − 𝐿 𝑉𝑐̇ − 𝐿𝐶 𝑉𝑐

Simulink

I used Simulink to simulate the D.E. models of the mechanical and

electrical system. I then invoked it to MATLAB GUI in order to plot
the output responses.

This is the Simulink Model of the mechanical system.

Simulink Model of the electrical system.
