Synopsis: Development of linear mathematical models for mechanical, electrical, thermal and fluid pressure devices and systems. Equation sets, transfer functions, block diagrams, signal flow graphs, and state-variable equations. 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 and their effects on system response. Discrete-time models and their solutions. A self-directed learning component completes the unit.
