Learning Outcomes
1.
Derive mathematical models, transfer functions, electrical,
mechanical and electrochemical time differential systems.
2.
Describe quantitatively the transient response of first- and
second-order system from the transfer function.
3.
Determine the stability of a system represented as a transfer
function and analyze the steady-state error for a unity
feedback system.
4.
Use the root locus to design cascade compensators to
improve both the steady-state error and the transient
response.
Synopsis
To introduce to the student the basic theory and practice of
control engineering. The main goal is to enable the student to
analyse and design control systems in frequency domain
representation. Students will become familiar with analytical and
will be exposed extensively to the use of computers for analysis
and design of control systems.
