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:
“It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or the fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. We may not arrive at our port within a calculable period, but we would preserve the true course.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The modern world needs people with a complex identity who are intellectually autonomous and prepared to cope with uncertainty; who are able to tolerate ambiguity and not be driven by fear into a rigid, single-solution approach to problems, who are rational, foresightful and who look for facts; who can draw inferences and can control their behavior in the light of foreseen consequences, who are altruistic and enjoy doing for others, and who understand social forces and trends.”
—Robert Havighurst (20th century)
