COURSE
DESCRIPTION
Analysis and
synthesis of single-input, single-output (SISO), linear time invariant (LTI) feedback
control systems. Laplace transforms, transfer functions, poles and zeros, block
diagrams, time response, and frequency response. Performance criteria,
multi-domain systems modeling, Routh-Hurwitz stability, root-locus, Bode plots,
stability margins, compensator design, applications relevant to mechanical
engineers.
LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
After successful completion of this
course, students will be able to
·
analyze the transient response in terms of
overshoot, rise time, peak, and settling time and develop the Bode plot [SES
Outcome 1 Scientific
Foundations - an understanding of the scientific and
mathematical basis of engineering (ABET Criterion 3-a)];
·
formulate transfer functions from simple
mathematical models of physical systems and determine the range of gains for
stability and calculate the steady-state value using the final value theorem.
[SES Outcome 2 Engineering Foundations - the ability to use applied scientific knowledge (ABET Criterion
3-e)];
·
use an appropriate PD or PI controller to
eliminate the steady-state error, while making the transient response of the
system reasonable [SES Outcome 2 Engineering Foundations - the ability to use applied
scientific knowledge (ABET Criterion 3-e)];
FORMAT
AND STRUCTURE
This course is comprised of bi-weekly lectures.
COURSE
MATERIALS
Textbook: Modern Control Engineering (5th Edition) by K.
Ogata, Prentice Hall
Reference: Control
Systems Engineering (11th Edition) by Norman S. Nise,
Wiley (ISBN : 978-1-118-17051-9)
COURSE
REQUIREMENTS
Attendance The grade will be pushed down by a letter
grade if a student missed 3 classes or more without approval by the instructor.
Excused absences (religious or medical, noted in via email to the professor
prior to the absence occurring) must be accompanied by proper documentation.
Homework There
will be 10 homework assignments throughout this course. All homework
assignments must be submitted by the assigned date and submitted via CANVAS.
Binary grading scale (0 or 1):
·
0 if not submitted, submitted drastically incomplete,
or barely attempted,
·
1 if a reasonable attempt was made on most
problems and much seemed correct.
·
Solutions will be provided after grading for
detailed student review.
Exams There will be 3 scheduled exams throughout the semester. Exams
will be graded for accuracy and returned within 3 class periods.
Software: Mathworks MATLAB,
Simulink
GRADING
PROCEDURES
There are 10 possible points that a student can earn in this

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Undergraduate Honor System
Enrollment into the undergraduate class of Stevens Institute
of Technology signifies a student's commitment to the Honor System.
Accordingly, the provisions of the Stevens Honor System apply to all
undergraduate students in coursework and Honor Board proceedings. It is the
responsibility of each student to become acquainted with and to uphold the ideals
set forth in the Honor System Constitution. More information about the Honor
System including the constitution, bylaws, investigative procedures, and the
penalty matrix can be found online at https://web.stevens.edu/honor/ .
The following pledge shall be
written in full and signed by every student on all submitted work (including,
but not limited to, homework, projects, lab reports, code, quizzes and exams)
that is assigned by the course instructor. No work shall be graded unless the
pledge is written in full and signed.
“I pledge my honor that I have
abided by the Stevens Honor System.”
Reporting Honor System
Violations Students who believe a
violation of the Honor System has been committed should report it within ten
business days of the suspected violation. Students have the option to remain
anonymous and can report violations online at https://web.stevens.edu/honor/ .
LEARNING ACCOMODATIONS
Stevens Institute of Technology
is dedicated to providing appropriate accommodations to students with
documented disabilities. The Office of Disability Services (ODS) works with
undergraduate and graduate students with learning disabilities, attention deficit-hyperactivity
disorders, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, psychiatric disorders,
and other such disabilities in order to help students achieve their academic
and personal potential. They facilitate equal access to the educational
programs and opportunities offered at Stevens and coordinate reasonable
accommodations for eligible students. These services are designed to encourage
independence and self-advocacy with support from the ODS staff. The ODS staff will
facilitate the provision of accommodations on a case-by-case basis.
Students who are granted learning accommodations must
coordinate with the professor to coordinate accommodations within a sufficient
timeframe. This is the student’s responsibility.
Disability Services Confidentiality Policy
Student Disability Files are
kept separate from academic files and are stored in a secure location within
the Office of Disability Services. The Family Educational Rights Privacy Act
(FERPA, 20 U.S.C. 1232g; 34CFR, Part 99) regulates disclosure of disability
documentation and records maintained by Stevens Disability Services. According
to this act, prior written consent by the student is required before our
Disability Services office may release disability documentation or records to
anyone. An exception is made in unusual circumstances, such as the case of
health and safety emergencies.
For more information about
Disability Services and the process to receive accommodations, visit https://www.stevens.edu/directory/office-disability-services . If you have any questions please contact: Phillip Gehman, the Director of Disability Services Coordinator at
Stevens Institute of Technology at pgehman@stevens.edu or by phone (201) 216-3748.
