72 CHAPTER 2. MATHEMATICAL MODELS IN CONTROL
In standard international (SI) units, the armature constantKt,isequaltothe
motor constantKe. Therefore, if we letK=Kt=Ke,wecanwrite
T = Ki
e = Kθ ̇
LetJrepresent the inertia of the wheel andbthe damping constant. Also, letL
represent the inductance of the armature coil with resistanceR. With a voltage
V applied to the motor terminals as shown in Figure 2.39, we can write the
following coupled electromechanical equations based on Newtonís second law
and Kirchhoffís law:

Transfer function The coupled electromechanical equations form the basis
for obtaining the input-output relationship of the system. Using Laplace trans-
forms, and with zero initial conditions, the above equations can be expressed
as
Js^2 Θ(s)+bsΘ(s)=KI(s)
or
s(Js+b)Θ(s)=KI(s)
and
LsI(s)+RI(s)+KsΘ(s)=V(s)
or
(Ls+R)I(s)+KsΘ(s)=V(s)
Since our objective is to obtain a relationship between rotor angleΘ(s)and
the applied voltageV(s), we eliminate the currentI(s).Fromthefirst equation
we obtain
I(s)=

Substituting this in the second equation and collecting terms, we get
