#### The Concept of Frequency {#the-concept-of-frequency}
+The variation of an electric signal over time can be seen as a combination of three types of behavior:
-##### Random Signals or Noise {#random-signals-or-noise}
+- constant, called **DC**
+- periodically alternative, called **AC**
+- Random, called **noise**
+Let's consider position with an harmonic oscillation with constant angular speed \\(\omega\\) and amplitude \\(x\_p\\):
-##### Power of Alternating Signals {#power-of-alternating-signals}
+\begin{equation}
+x(t) = x\_p \sin(\omega t)
+\end{equation}
+
+The angular speed \\(\omega\\) is rad/s related to the frequency \\(f\\) in hertz by:
+
+\begin{equation}
+\omega = 2\pi f \quad \text{[rad/s]}
+\end{equation}
+
+The time period of one cycle \\(T\\) in seconds is inversely proportional to \\(f\\):
+
+\begin{equation}
+T = \frac{1}{f} \quad \text{[s]}
+\end{equation}
+
+The velocity \\(v(t)\\) equals the derivative of the position over time:
+
+\begin{equation}
+v(t) = \frac{dx(t)}{dt} = \dot{x}(t) = v\_p \cos(\omega t) = x\_p \omega \cos(\omega t)
+\end{equation}
+
+Meaning that the amplitude of the velocity is:
+
+\begin{equation}
+v\_p = x\_p \omega \quad \text{[m/s]}
+\end{equation}
+
+And the acceleration \\(a(t)\\) equals the derivative of velocity over time:
+
+\begin{equation}
+a(t) = \frac{dv(t)}{dt} = \ddot{x}(t) = -x\_p \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)
+\end{equation}
+
+It could be concluded that velocity either advances on position with a phase of 90 degrees or lags with a phase of 270 degrees.
+The second option is however not logical as the position of an object is the result of **and thus comes after** the velocity.
+The same phase relation exists between the velocity and the acceleration.
+
+Noise is a real random non-deterministic signal,which means that the signal value at any time of observation can have any value within a certain range.
+The range is described by means of a statistical distribution, which indicates the probability that the value is within that range.
+The distribution of frequencies contained in the noise, called the _frequency spectrum_, can only be described in statistical terms.
+
+Sometimes electronic signals are represented by their power value, being the squared momentary value.
+In case of a voltage signal, this power value would be equal to the power dissipated in a \\(1 \Omega\\) resistor.
+In an alternating signal, the power also varies over time.
+When examining the power of a signal, as defined by the squared momentary value, often the average power over time \\(\bar{P\_s}\\) is taken as a representative number:
+
+\begin{equation}
+\bar{P\_s} = \frac{1}{T}\int\_0^T \left^2 dt \quad [W]
+\end{equation}
+
+In the example of a voltage signal over a \\(1\Omega\\) resistor this average power level would be equal to the power dissipated in the resistor by a DC voltage with a value of:
+
+\begin{equation}
+V\_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{T}\int\_0^T \left^2 dt}
+\end{equation}
+
+The term "rms" refers to Root Mean Square, named from the action of taking the root of the mean value of the squared function.
+The RMS value is a well known term used to characterize the "useful" value of the energy supply with a signal by comparing it with an equivalent DC voltage that would cause the same power in a resistive load.
+
+
+
+
+For a sinusoidal signal \\(V(t) = V\_p \sin(\omega t)\\), the equivalent DC voltage becomes:
+
+\begin{equation}
+\begin{aligned}
+V\_{\text{rms}} &= \sqrt{\frac{1}{T} \int\_0^T \left< V\_p\sin(\omega t) \right>^2 dt} \\\\\\
+ &= \dots \\\\\\
+ &= \frac{V\_p}{\sqrt{2}} \quad [V]

#### Energy Propagation in Waves {#energy-propagation-in-waves}
+The energy in a traveling wave is transferred to another place by a consecutive process called _propagation_ at a velocity, which is called propagation velocity or _phase velocity_ \\(v\_p\\) [m/s], a spatial vector with a magnitude, called propagation speed \\(c\_p\\) [m/s].
+When observing a continuous sinusoidal wave motion on a stationary position, the observed value, like displacement or pressure, will appear to vary with a certain **temporal** frequency \\(f\\) [Hz] with period \\(T\\) [s], which is determined by the source of the wave.
+With a certain propagation speed \\(c\_p\\), the temporal frequency \\(f\\) will also correspond to a **spatial** variation of the observed value along the propagation direction at a stationary moment in time.
+This spatial frequency is called the _wavenumber_ \\(\nu\\) [1/m], and equals the number of periods of the wave per meter.
+Its inverse, the spatial period length called _wavelength_ \\(\lambda\\) [m] is more common.
+
+The relation between the above defined terms is:
+
+\begin{align}
+ \lambda &= \frac{1}{\nu} = c\_p T = \frac{c\_p}{f} \quad [m] \\\\\\

##### Mechanical Waves {#mechanical-waves}
+The propagation speed value of a mechanical wave is mostly determined by the density and elasticity of the medium.
+The wave propagation through an elastic material can be qualitatively explained with the help of a simplified lumped element model, consisting of a chain of springs and bodies as shown in Figure [2](#org06ad50b).
+
+
+
+{{< figure src="/ox-hugo/schmidt20_mechanical_wave.svg" caption="Figure 2: Lumped element model of one wavelength of a mechanical wave." >}}
+
+To explain the principle of energy transfer, the longitudinal wave is taken as example.
+When a movement of mass \\(m\_1\\) is introduced in the propagation direction of the chain, this will first cause a compression of the elastic coupling \\(k\_1\\).
+The resulting compression force is transferred to mass \\(m\_2\\), which accelerates resulting in its own movement and causing in its turn a compression of \\(k\_2\\).
+This process is repeated over the total chain until the original movement reaches \\(m\_n\\).
+With this mechanism the kinetic energy from mass \\(m\_1\\) is converted into potential energy in \\(k\_1\\), which in turn is transferred into kinetic energy of \\(m\_2\\), and so on.
+
+
+
+
+This phenomenon of transfer of energy in an elastic body is important in mechatronic systems because driving forces are also transported through the body as a wave and as a consequence will experience a delay between the actuator and the sensor when they are located separately.
+
+
+
+The propagation speed \\(c\_p\\) is determined by the density \\(\rho\_m\\) and the elasticity of the medium, expressed by the Young's modulus \\(Y\\) for a wave running in one direction in a solid rod and bulk modulus \\(B\\) for a wave running in a volume and equals:
+
+\begin{equation}
+\text{1-D: } c\_p = \sqrt{\frac{Y}{\rho\_m}}, \quad \text{3-D: } c\_p = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho\_m}} \quad [m/s]
+\end{equation}
+
+
+
+
+The propagation speed in stainless steel varies between 3500 m/s for transversal waves and 5500 m/s for longitudinal waves.
+With for instance half a meter of steel this gives a delay of about 0.1ms, resulting in a phase delay of 36 degrees at 1kHz, which can be significant from a control point of view.

### Dynamic System Analysis and Modelling {#dynamic-system-analysis-and-modelling}
#### Laplace-Transform {#laplace-transform}
+The Laplace transform can be used to solve differential equations of motion, which could describe the position of an object in the time-domain, by solutions in the frequency domain in the form of a _transfer-function_ with the Laplace operator \\(s = \sigma + j\omega\\).
-##### Poles and Zeros {#poles-and-zeros}
+The Laplace operator \\(s = \sigma + j\omega\\) is a complex number that can graphically be represented in a two dimensional plot called the _Laplace-plane_ with the value of \\(\sigma\\) on the horizontal real axis and \\(j\omega\\) on the vertical imaginary axis.
+In case \\(f(t)\\) is a function of the time variable \\(t\\), then the Laplace-transformed function \\(F(s) = \mathcal{L}\\{f(t)\\}\\) is described as a function of the Laplace operator \\(s\\) in the following way:
-##### Order of a Dynamic System {#order-of-a-dynamic-system}
+\begin{equation}
+\boxed{ F(s) = \mathcal{L}\\{f(t)\\} = \int\_0^\infty e^{-st}f(t)dt }
+\end{equation}
+
+The Laplace transform converts a differential of a variable \\(x(t)\\) over time into the following function:
+
+\begin{equation}
+\mathcal{L}\left\\{ \frac{dx(t)}{dt} \right\\} = s x(s) - x(0)
+\end{equation}
+
+In practice, the initial value \\(x(0)\\) of \\(x(t)\\) at \\(t=0\\) is neglected for the dynamic analysis of mechatronic systems as the frequency response functions are based on the continuous presence of the input signal of the system.
+
+The Laplace transform applied to an integration action gives the following function:
+
+\begin{equation}
+\mathcal{L}\left\\{ \int\_0^{t^\prime} x(t) dt \right\\} = \frac{x(s)}{s}
+\end{equation}
+
+The Laplace plane is used when examining the stability of a dynamic system, determined by the location of the poles and zeros of the dynamic transfer function of the system after transforming its equations of motion.
+A transfer function is generally a function with polynomial terms of \\(s\\) in the numerator and the denominator.
+A zero is defined as the value of \\(s\\) in the transfer function at which the numerator equals zeros.
+A pole is defined as the value of \\(s\\) in the transfer function at which the denominator equals zeros, in that case the total transfer function becomes infinite.
+
+Any real physical systems always have more poles than zeros, because of the fact that no real physical system can respond to an infinite frequency.
+
+The order of a dynamic system can be defined as:
+
+- the number of energy containers like mass, spring
+- the number of state variables
+- the number of poles

+There are derived from a simplified version of the generic feedback loop as shown in Figure [11](#org2c5d10f).
The first simplification is made by approximating the measurement system to have a unity-gain transfer function.
For further simplification the sensor disturbance in the measurement system is included in the output disturbance \\(n\\), thereby defining the output of the system \\(y\\) as the measured output.
With this simplified model, the transfer functions of the different inputs of the system to three relevant output variables in the loop are written down in a set of equations.
-Six different transfer functions are obtained and summarized in Table [3](#table--tab:gang-of-six).
