MEC4418

Control systems ( 6 points, SCA Band 2, 0.125 EFTSL)

Leader: J Friend

Offered:
Clayton First semester 2005 (Day)
Malaysia Second semester 2005 (Day)

Synopsis: Instruction on the basics of automatic control, including anaysis and computational techniques (with MATLAB/SIMULINK). Assumes students have the ability to form and use classical and state-space models of linear systems, can calculate and shape their response, and have experience in using MATLAB. Control stem design through root-locus, frequency response, state-space methods, with particular focus on compensators, controllability and observability. An overview of digital, adaptive and optimal control design methods will complete the unit.

Assessment: Examination (2 hours): 75% + Assignments: 25%
