This document discusses mathematical modeling of mechatronic systems. It describes how systems can be modeled using basic building blocks with defined input-output relationships. Electrical systems use resistors, capacitors, and inductors as basic blocks. Their characteristics are defined by equations relating potential difference and current. More complex systems can be modeled by combining blocks according to Kirchhoff's laws. Examples show how motors and other electromechanical systems can be mathematically modeled. The document also discusses linearity and how real-world non-linear components can be approximated with linear models.
