Aim: This course introduces students to the theory and practice of control system engineering. The course emphasizes the practical application of the subject to the analysis and design of feedback control. By combiningl classical linear control theory with practical examples, students have the opportunity to practise analysis and design of feedback control systems including system modelling, transient response analysis, performance specification, stability analysis and compensator design.
|
Contents: The principles and procedures for modelling the dynamics of systems are introduced through several examples. Special attention is paid to mechanical systems. Transfer function and block diagrams.Linearization of Non-linear systems
System analysis topics covered include: - transient response analysis - steady-state error analysis - roots-locus analysis - frequency response analysis.
The system stability can be examined by using the following methods: - Routh's stability criterion - root-locus - Nyquist stability criterion
Control system specifications by time domain response characteristic: Delay time, rise time, peak time, overshoot and setting time. Specifications by frequency domain characteristics. - phase margin, gain margin, and bandwidth .
Compensator design using root-locus and frequency characteristics methods. Commonly employed compensators: PID, lag, lead,etc.
