Syst Dynamics Model & Analysis
University of Louisiana at Lafayette · UGRD · Fall 2026
Catalog description
Systematic but flexible approach to the modeling and analysis of dynamic systems. Engineering models of mechanical, electrical, fluid, and thermal systems and combined systems are developed from fundamental physical principles. Construct, use, and convert between transfer function and mathematical models. Analytical and numerical solution methods are studied, along with internal and input/output notions of stability, Laplace transformation, and transfer functions of dynamic systems. Introduction to modal analysis of mechanical vibrations. Introduction to PID control of machines and processes.
