Class Information

Structure:

Three 50-minute lectures per week. No labs. Homework assignments approximately weekly. Homework often requires use of computers. Three fifty-minute tests, a two-hour final, and a class project requiring a written report. The project requires the use of Matlab.

Topics:

Introduction to Control Systems. (3 hours)
Modeling of electrical, mechanical, and heat and fluid flow systems. (9 hours)
Forms for differential equations: standard form, state-space form, and Laplace domain (2 hours)
Pre-analysis: linearization, scaling (2 hours)
Analysis of linear systems: finding solutions, internal and BIBO stability, steady-state, and transient performance. (8 hours)
Analysis of feedback control systems (block-diagram analysis, stability and steady-state analysis for standard configurations, time-domain insight into PID and lead-lag compensators). (7 hours)
Root locus design: sketching and interpreting loci (7 hours)
Frequency response-based design of lead/lag and other controllers (7 hours)
