where
()ut
is the unit-step function.
(a) Build the Simulink model and use it to generate the plot of
()xt
.
(b) Derive the linearized model analytically. Build a Simulink model and use it to plot the time variations of the
variable in the linear model that is compatible with
()xt
. Compare the plots generated in (a) and (b) and
comment.
Solution
(a) The model is built and shown in Figure PS8-5No12-1. Run the simulation, followed by
