Hi guys!
I am a beginner with MATLAB, forgive me for any stupid expression and this terrible formatting. I am trying to get a dynamic response for a state space differential equation in a matrix form: Xdot=A*x+B*u (A is 4by4, B is 4by2)
The input u is [1;0] between interval [0,1], and is 0 everywhere else. I have used a stupid way to construct my u, but I guess it should work. Here's the code I have:
A=[-2.6 0.25 -38 0; -0.075 -0.27 4.4 0; 0.078 -0.99 -0.23 0.052; 1.0 0.078 0 0];
B=[17 7; 0.82 -3.2; 0 0.046; 0 0];
w1=zeros(1,10000);
w3=zeros(1,10000);
w2=ones(1,10001);
t=-1:0.0001:2.000;
u1=[w1 w2 w3];
u2=zeros(1,30001);
u=[u1; u2];
lsim(sys1,u,t)
However, the plot seems to be u(1:) of t only, and I would like to get a response for x1, x2, x3, and x4.
I then tried the following code:
A=[-2.6 0.25 -38 0; -0.075 -0.27 4.4 0; 0.078 -0.99 -0.23 0.052; 1.0 0.078 0 0];
B=[17 7; 0.82 -3.2; 0 0.046; 0 0];
w1=zeros(1,10000);
w3=zeros(1,10000);
w2=ones(1,10001);
t=-1:0.0001:2.0001;
u1=[w1 w2 w3];
u2=zeros(1,30001);
u=[u1; u2];
x=zeros(4,30001);
for k=1:1:30001
x(:,k+1)=A*x(:,k)+B*u(:,k);
end
Then I have checked the values for x(:,10002) to x(:,11000) column by column, and found out that the values got too large that eventually MATLAB gave me NaN.
Is any of my approaches might work? Or either of them is correct...? Also, is there any more efficient way to solve this? Thanks!
