MENG690       Special topics in applied mechanics: Digital Control of Dynamic Systems

Fall 2015

 

 

Course Introduction:

Control systems are an integral part of everyday life in today’s society. They control our appliances, our entertainment centers, our car and our office environment, they control our industrial processes and our transportation system, and they control our exploration of land, sea, air and space. Almost all of these applications use digital controllers implemented with computers, microprocessors, or digital electronics. Every electrical, chemical or mechanical engineer student should therefore be familiar with the theory of digital controllers.

 

Catalog Description:

Introduction to Digital Control, Basic concepts of z-transformation, Impulse Response, Frequency Response of Discrete-Time Systems, Modeling of Digital Control Systems, Steady-State Error Computation for Digital Control Systems,  Analysis and design of Digital Control Systems,  z-Root Locus, Frequency Response Methods, State-Space Analysis of Digital Control Systems, Controllability, Observability.
