DYNAMICS OF CONTROLLED SYSTEMS

3 credits.

Emphasis on obtaining equations which define the behavior of physical systems frequently subjected to control; mechanical processing, fluid power, and thermal systems; analytical, experimental, and computer techniques. Knowledge of Automatic Controls [such as M E 446 or E C E 322] is required.

Prerequisites & course information

Requisites: Graduate/professional standing or declared in Capstone Certificate in Power Conversion and Control. Not open to students with credit for M E 746 . Course Designation: Grad 50% - Counts toward 50% graduate coursework requirement Repeatable for Credit: No Last Taught: Fall 2026 Learning Outcomes: 1. Describe how physical state feedback affects dynamic stiffness of a control system Audience: Graduate 2. Analyze the sensitivity of the system with eigenvalue migration analysis Audience: Graduate 3. Develop improved control systems by implementing active state feedback which mimics the physical system and augments the system performance Audience: Graduate 4. Differentiate command tracking from disturbance rejection. The student will characterize the necessary command feedforward structure in order to achieve optimal command tracking. Audience: Graduate 5. Manipulate observer inputs and state feedback inputs to achieve zero-lag properties Audience: Graduate 6. Draw the block diagram of physical systems identifying the appropriate inputs required for a properly formed observer Audience: Graduate 7. Implement observers for state estimation in multi-variable control systems Audience: Graduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
