Control and Dynamical Systems module (EG32001)

EG32001
The principal aims are twofold: first to give students a working knowledge of the way lumped parameter systems vibrate and how to calculate important quantities of that vibration such as natural frequency and nodal positions; second to introduce automatic control systems so that they can design controllers for a variety of simple systems.
Core contents includes: vibration of two-degree-of-freedom systems, vibration absorption, transverse vibration of beams, three term controllers, steady state errors, frequency response, introduction to Laplace Transform, the concept of stability, Routh-Hurwitz criterion, gain and phase margins, the Nyquist criterion, block diagram manipulation, Root Locus method (introduction only), practical control elements - actuators, sensors, simulation via MATLAB.
