CONTROL SYSTEMS I

Catalog description

Prerequisites: ENT 341, ENT 342, and senior status. Applies frequency domain techniques to open-loop and closed-loop systems with emphasis on stability and performance. Classical methods of control engineering are presented: Laplace transforms and transfer functions, root locus analysis, Routh-Hurwitz stability analysis, steady-state error for standard test signals, and second-order system approximations. MATLAB is introduced and utilized extensively for computer-aided analysis. Laboratory exercises provide practical application of the control-system theory. Offered fall only.
