4 points * 26 lectures, 9 tutorial hours, 6 laboratory hours * Second semester * Clayton
Development of linear mathematical models for mechanical, electrical, thermal and fluid pressure devices and systems. Equation sets, transfer functions, block diagrams, state-variable equations, as model forms. Solution of models to provide predictions of response. Classical, Laplace transform, matrix, and computer methods of solution. Assessing the quality of response; stability, speed and shape. Achieving desired response. Frequency response. Non-linearities; their effects on system response; incorporating them into models. Discrete-time models and their solution.
