Course Description
This course models multi-domain engineering systems at a level of
detail suitable for design and control system implementation. Topics
include network representation, state-space models; multi-port energy
storage and dissipation, Legendre transforms; nonlinear mechanics,
transformation theory, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian forms; and
control-relevant properties. Application examples may include
electro-mechanical transducers, mechanisms, electronics, fluid and
thermal systems, compressible flow, chemical processes, diffusion, and
wave transmission.
