Automatic Controls

Catalog description

This course will explore the modeling of linear dynamic systems via differential equations and transfer functions utilizing input-output representations; analysis of control systems in the time using transfer function methods; study of the classical stability tests, such as the Routh-Hurwitz, and design methods using root-locus plots; and the development of control techniques based on a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller.
