RJM's Demo of Time Response of Second Order Systems
Various second order systems are depicted, and graphs are plotted of their output and the main other variable.
By default the input is a unit step, but a sinusoid can be selected whose ang freq can be set.
The system can be described by differential equations, or as a transfer function in terms of the Laplace variable, s.
The response is simulated (and the user can set the simulation interval) and the theoretical response can be superimposed.
Click on the blocks in the diagram to change parameter values - or change the max time/simulation interval.
