Course Highlights
This course features a large bank of problems and solutions covering many topics in mechanical engineering, from which the
assignments are partially taken.
Course Description
This course develops the fundamentals of feedback control using linear
transfer function system models. It covers analysis in time and
frequency domains; design in the s-plane (root locus) and in the
frequency domain (loop shaping); describing functions for stability of
certain non-linear systems; extension to state variable systems and
multivariable control with observers; discrete and digital hybrid
systems and the use of z-plane design. Assignments include extended
design case studies and capstone group projects. Graduate students are
expected to complete additional assignments.
