Laplace transform table

With a Laplace transform table, we find f(t) = e 2tcos3t + e 2tsin3t... 

The tip response can be obtained by using the short Laplace transform table in Appendix G ... 

A third method—solution by Laplace transforms—can be used to derive many of the results already mentioned. It is a powerful method, particularly for complicated problems or those with time-dependent boundary conditions. The difficult part of using the Laplace transform is back-transforming to the desired solution, which usually involves integration on the complex domain. Fortunately, Laplace transform tables and tables of integrals can be used for many problems (Table 5.3). 

The inverse Laplace transform of the matrix elements in equation (46b) can be found from Laplace transform tables or by using the Heaveside expansion theorem. For example, consider the entry in the rtjj position of equation (46b). We find from Table 8.1 of Varma and Morbidelli[3] that...

The differential equation was solved only by transformation, which can be done using Laplace transform tables, the solution of an algebraic equation, and the inverse Laplace transform using tables. Tables of Laplace transforms can be easily... 

The use of the Laplace transform is relatively simple using either Laplace transform tables or programs that make it possible to perform symbolic operations such as Maple or Mathematica. Application of the Laplace transform to solve current-voltage relations in electrical circuits will be illustrated in Sect. 2.8 on the impedance of electrical circuits. 

Using Laplace transform tables, Eqn. (9.2) can be transformed to the Laplace domain ... 

Using Laplace transform tables the function can be transformed back to the time domain, the result for the response to a pulse in the input is the so-called impulse transfer function ... 

A short table (Table 3-1) of very common Laplace transforms and inverse transforms follows. The references include more detailed tables. NOTE F(/i -1- 1) = Iq x e dx (gamma function) /(f) = Bessel function of the first land of order n. 

Equation (8-14) shows that starts from 0 and builds up exponentially to a final concentration of Kcj. Note that to get Eq. (8-14), it was only necessaiy to solve the algebraic Eq. (8-12) and then find the inverse of C (s) in Table 8-1. The original differential equation was not solved directly. In general, techniques such as partial fraction expansion must be used to solve higher order differential equations with Laplace transforms. 

Table 3.1 gives further Laplace transforms of common functions (called Laplace transform pairs). 

In practice, inverse transformation is most easily achieved by using partial fractions to break down solutions into standard components, and then use tables of Laplace transform pairs, as given in Table 3.1. 

In this way many Laplace transforms can be found. Table 3-1 gives a small selection of transforms. 

To take the inverse Laplace transform means to reverse the process of taking the transform, and for this purpose a table of transforms is valuable. To illustrate, we consider a simple first-order reaction, whose differential rate equation is...

Thus the Laplace transformation constitutes a method of integration, and a table of Laplace transforms plays a role in this process that is analogous to a table of... 

The temperature 0, corresponding to the transform 9, may now be found by reference to tables of the Laplace transform. It is first necessary, however, to evaluate the constants B] and S2 using the boundary conditions for the particular problem since these constants will in general involve the parameter p which was introduced in the transformation. 

The temperature 0 is then obtained from the tables of inverse Laplace transforms in the Appendix (Table 12, No 83) and is given by. 

By applying the Laplace transform to the U-series decay equation, one obtains simple linear equations that can be solved for the Laplace transforms of Ni (the number of nuclei i in the system). By inverting the Laplace transforms using tables, the time-dependent solutions are directly obtained. The Laplace transform for Equation (1) is ... 

Since we are doing inverse transform using a look-up table, we need to break down any given transfer functions into smaller parts which match what the table has—what is called partial fractions. The time-domain function is the sum of the inverse transform of the individual terms, making use of the fact that Laplace transform is a linear operator. 

We now review the Laplace transform of some common functions—mainly the ones that we come across frequently in control problems. We do not need to know all possibilities. We can consult a handbook or a mathematics textbook if the need arises. (A summary of the important ones is in Table 2.1.) Generally, it helps a great deal if you can do the following common ones... 

Since we rely on a look-up table to do reverse Laplace transform, we need the skill to reduce a complex function down to simpler parts that match our table. In theory, we should be able to "break up" a ratio of two polynomials in 5 into simpler partial fractions. If the polynomial in the denominator, p(s), is of an order higher than the numerator, q(s), we can derive 1... 

In practice, the inverse Laplace transformations are obtained by reference to the rather extensive tables that are available. It is sometimes useful to develop the function in question in partial fractions, as employed in Section 3.3.3. The resulting sura of integrals can often be evaluated with the use of the tables. 

Many other Laplace transforms can be derived in this way. Extensive tables of Laplace transforms are available and are of routine use, particularly by electronics engineers. 

The other boundary condition transforms into F(0, s) = cQ/s. Finally the solution of the ordinary differential equation forF subject to F(0,s) = cQ/s andF remains finite as x —> o is F(x, s) = (cq/s )e x Reference to a table shows that the function having this as its Laplace transform is -x/2 V5t...
