This document summarizes the use of Laplace transforms to model a spring-mass-damper system. It presents the equations of motion for a single mass connected to a spring and damper. Taking the Laplace transform of these second order differential equations allows them to be solved algebraically for various initial conditions. The document works through an example problem, applying the specific parameters of a mass, spring constant, and damping coefficient to determine the position of the mass over time. It concludes by discussing how to check the results and apply the final value theorem to find the steady state position.

2. Abstract:
Laplace transform can be used to analyze the differential-difference equation.
We will use Laplace transformation for Modeling of a Spring-Mass-Damper System (Second
Order System).
Introduction:
The Laplace transform is an integral transformation of a function f (t) from the time domain
into the complex frequency domain, F(s).

We will use Laplace transforms for Modeling of a Spring-Mass-Damper System (Second
Order System).
Application:
Let us start with a one-car system
Suppose we know:
m1 mass of the car
k1, L01 spring constant and free length
c damping coefficient
3. x position
x' velocity
x1(0) initial position at t=0
x'1 (0) initial velocity at t=0
xd desired position
Suppose at start (initial condition):
x1 = L01 spring is applying zero force
x' = 0car is at rest
f(0) = 0 there is no applied force
Now we want final condition.
Analysis:
lets first write the equation of motion
assume the current position x1>L01 and that x'1 is positive

Now we want to solve for x1(t) if you know f(t) as well as x1(0) and x'1(0)
We will write the second order differential equation in the Laplace domain.
Laplace transformations substitute easily solved algebraic equations for differential
equations.
We take Laplace transform of left and right side of equation.
