CONTENT

Examples of physical and abstract systems and their mathematical models. Classification of dynamic system models linearity and time invariance ; finite state discrete event systems. Tools of analysis for linear systems : transform techniques, input-output analysis, block diagrams, frequency response representation. Introduction to stability and closed loop system design. Introduction to supervisory control for discrete event systems.

OBJECTIVE

Develop mathematical models of dynamical systems and control them through various controllers to obtain desired performance.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • After taking this course, students should be able to: - Develop mathematical models of simple dynamical systems such as mechanical, electrical and electromechanical systems using differential equations based on first principles.
  • - Obtain and manipulate transfer functions of linear time invariant (LTI) systems using Laplace transform. Identify poles and zeros of a transfer function. Construct and manipulate block diagrams of LTI systems.
  • - Determine and characterize the time response of 1st and 2nd order systems using various inputs such as step, ramp and sinusoids.
  • - Construct Matlab/Simulink models of dynamical systems and simulate them with different inputs and initial conditions.
  • - Develop state space representations for linear and nonlinear dynamical systems. Linearize nonlinear systems around an operating point.
  • - Determine the frequency response of LTI systems
  • - Analyze basic control systems. Distinguish open loop from closed loop (feedback) control systems.
  • - Design simple PID controllers and evaluate them on the transient and steady state performance of dynamical systems.
