Course
Outline:
Brief
overview of Linear Differential Equations (LDEs), Modeling with LDEs, Laplace
transforms and Properties, Solving LDEs with Laplace transforms, Linearization
of Nonlinear Models, Transfer Functions and Block Diagrams (Chapters 1-3);
Transient Response of 1st and 2nd order systems,
Transient Specifications, Automatic Control through Feedback, Sensitivity,
Types of Feedback, Phase Lead and Phase Lag with Sinusoids, Steady-State Errors
and Type 0/1/2/3 systems, Stability and Instability, Routh Criterion (Chapters
4-5); Root Locus, Bode Diagrams, Nyquist Stability Criterion, Design of
Compensators (Lead, Lag, Lead/Lag) (Chapters 6-8).
Learning
Objectives:
- What is
automatic control?
- Why do we
like feedback?
- Given a
system, build a dynamic model, obtain transfer function
- Be able
to understand transient and steady-state specifications
- Be able
to design compensators to achieve these specs
Homeworks and Tests:
- Three
exams @ 25% each
- Eight Homeworks
homeworks @ 25% total
An explanation of
the method used to determine the course grade:
- Letter grading is NOT based on absolute
numerical points, it is based on your performance relative to class
average
- The average letter grade will be between B and
C; average letter grade could go higher if class average numerical score
is high. Bins would be made on the high side of the average to accommodate
equal # of students in each bin (say x/bin) all the way up to A. Students
below average would be put in x-size bins also all the way to D and below
if any.
Tentative
dates for all tests and other major components of course work:
- Mid-terms
(1st week of June, 1st week of July)
- Final
(See schedule)
- Assignments
(assigned during the semester with due date for each posted on the course
webpage and announced in class)
Homework
collection policy: Homework will be given about once each week and would
be due a week after that. On the due day, homework will be due at the beginning
of class. No late submissions allowed unless there is a verifiable emergency or
instructor permission has been obtained in advance. Assignments may require use
of Matlab.
Contact
information for the course instructor: I have an open door policy. If I am available
and there are no urgent deadlines, I will see you. However, you may have to
track me down to one of my offices. Best way to reach me is on email, I respond
very quickly.
