Help to stregnthen laplace and second order diff eq beckground

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on an Electrical Engineering (EE) student seeking to strengthen their understanding of Laplace transforms and second-order differential equations in the context of modeling electromechanical systems and classical feedback systems. The student has previously studied differential equations and signals but requires a refresher due to their part-time study status. Recommendations include utilizing circuits textbooks that cover signals and systems, particularly those used in college courses, to find relevant practice problems and guidance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of second-order differential equations
  • Familiarity with Laplace transforms
  • Basic knowledge of feedback control systems
  • Experience with electromechanical system modeling
NEXT STEPS
  • Review classical feedback system design techniques
  • Practice problems related to second-order differential equations
  • Study Laplace transform applications in control systems
  • Explore circuits textbooks that include signals and systems content
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for Electrical Engineering students, particularly those focusing on control systems, as well as educators and professionals looking to refresh their knowledge in differential equations and feedback system design.

Homework Statement


Here is my issue. I am an EE student that has been part time for almost five years. I took diff eq and signals a long time ago. I am currently taking a feedback and controls class, and my lack of memory in these topics is killing my study time. I am looking for relevant guidance or practice problems to stregnthen a foundation for:

Modeling Electromechanical Systems
Classical approach to feedback systems (not modern)


I need a refresher. Please let me know if more info is necessary. I know that when the light pops on again, it will be one of those "dumb" moments' Until then...

Homework Equations



Second order diff eq
damping application (I do understand critical, under, and first order)

The Attempt at a Solution



This is the attempt to get problems to work to a solution

are all of your diffy qs ODEs?

you could try a circuits book. I know the circuits book my college uses has tons of signals & systems stuff near the end of the book (that, of course, we never got to)
