Mathematical Approach
Among many ways of defining the characteristic of a system, obtaining a transfer characteristic is one of the most commonly used methods. Below are the steps to obtain the transfer function, eq 4.
Before going into the equations, first conventions should be set up, which will follow the convention data used. The first subscripts 'g' and 'm' each represents generator and motor. The superscripts 'f', 'r',and 'a', correspond to field, rotor, and armature.
= plant state vector = gain = time constant = polar moment of inertia = angular viscous friction = rotational inductance constant = Laplace operator
eq 1: The generator field equation
eq 2: The equation of electrical equilibrium in the armature circuit
eq 3: Motor torque equation
With total impedance, neglected, the transfer function can be obtained by solving eq 3 .
eq 4: Transfer function
with the constants defined as below:

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or approach:
“The most distinct and beautiful statement of any truth must take at last the mathematical form.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“F.R. Leavis’s “eat up your broccoli” approach to fiction emphasises this junkfood/wholefood dichotomy. If reading a novel—for the eighteenth century reader, the most frivolous of diversions—did not, by the middle of the twentieth century, make you a better person in some way, then you might as well flush the offending volume down the toilet, which was by far the best place for the undigested excreta of dubious nourishment.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
