Course Objectives

  • To train the students in systems approach by introducing Laplace transformation, transfer function and block diagram concepts, and their application to physical systems.
  • To teach student the concepts of trim, operating point, and equilibrium, and show how nonlinear systems may be linearized, around an equilibrium
  • To teach time response of linear time invariant systems to standard inputs, stress the issue of stability, and performance specifications in time domain.
  • To introduce automatic control systems, and teach why, and how they are used.
  • To teach frequency response behaviour of linear time invariant systems, and asymptotic Bode plot method.

Course Content

System concepts; Laplace transformation and properties; transfer functions, block diagrams; lumped parameter modelling of physical systems; state space formulation, linearization of nonlinear systems; stability of linear time invariant systems, Routh test; time domain analysis of dynamic systems, response; feedback control system examples, P, PD, PID control; Bode plot and stability margins.


Course Learning Outcomes

  • To gain ability to view a systems with inputs and outputs, and a transfer function describing its dynamics.  Ability to model complicated systems.

  • Ability to find equilibrium points of a nonlinear system, and linearize non-linear equations about an equilibrium.

  • Ability to guess the response of a linear time invariant system, decide on its stability, and be able to asses its performance.

  • Development of a basic understanding on the use of feedback control systems for stability and performance improvement.

  • A firm understanding on the behaviour of linear time invariant systems to sinusoidal inputs
