State Space Models 1 - Introduction
Listen now
Description
Introduces the concept of taking first principles models for systems and converting them into state space form. Explains the key assumption in a state space model is that one can write an equation for all the key dynamics in terms of their 1st order derivatives. Gives simple examples from 1st order engineering systems (mass-damper, resistor-capacitor, tank system).

Goes through in real time the solution of questions on creation of state space models from ODEs and transfer functions. Also conversions back to transfer function from a state space model and use of a similarity transform.

This resource shows how one can form a state space model from a transfer function. The process is analogous to that used for ODEs but with the extra subtlety of allowing more complex numerators than a constant. The resource gives the controllable canonical form only as this can be constructed by...
