ME 483: Control Systems
Course Description:
This
undergraduate, senior level course focuses on analysis and synthesis of
feedback control systems that have specified stability and performance
criteria. Topics that will be covered include:
·
Laplace transform
·
Modeling of physical systems via differential equations and
transfer functions
·
Analysis of the transient system response in terms of the location
of the closed-loop poles, and the overshoot, rise, peak and settling times
·
Stability, steady-state error analysis and Bode plots
·
Design of basic controllers using MATLAB
Prerequisites:
Basic understanding of differential equations and familiarity with
MATLAB.
