Simulink Basics Tutorial
Discusses the basics of operating Simulink, including starting the program, using
blocks and lines, building models, and running simulations.
Modeling a First Order System in
Simulink
Explains how to build a first order system model using Simulink (using the motion
of a car as an example system), and looks at how this type of system responds to step and
pulse inputs.
First Order System: Ramp Response
Deals with the first order system response to a ramp input (car system), and considers the effects of input saturation.
First Order System: Linearizing System Equation
Uses the car example to linearize a first order system equation, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of this approach.
First Order System: System Identification
Uses a first-order propeller-shaft system to discuss methods for identifying unknown system parameters.
First Order System: Identifying System Parameters from Scattered Response
Deals with identifying unknown system parameters from a largely scattered response (propeller-shaft system).
First Order System: A Closer Look at the Propeller-Shaft System
Explains the characteristics of the masked Simulink block that was used to "test" the propeller-shaft system.
Second Order System: System
Identification
Uses the deflection of a cantilever beam as an example of a second order system
where system parameters can be estimated.
