5 | Transfer Functions

By the end of this section, you should be able to

Create FBDs for linear and rotational mechanical systems (single- and multi-element)
Use FBDs to derive EOMs for system
Use EOMs to create transfer functions for I/O forces/displacements for SMD systems
Use Mathematica to assist with algebraic steps in deriving TF
Use Matlab to simulate step- and impulse inputs into TF

Single-DOF Systems
