Dynamics and Controls.

Catalog description

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory, design, and analysis of dynamic control systems. Topics include modeling dynamic system responses and designing control systems. Students will explore transient and steady-state response analysis across various systems, including mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, and thermal-fluid systems. The course covers first- and second-order linear systems, sources of nonlinearity, feedback principles, and classical control theory. Key concepts such as transfer functions, time and frequency response, vibration, damping, and automatic control systems are examined in depth. Additionally, hands-on laboratory experimentation includes measurement and instrumentation, sensor calibration, transducers, data acquisition, and control system design. (Spring) Prerequisites: EG2344, EG1341, EG2323, and MT2333.
