Course Description:
This course
provides an introduction to the analysis and design of control
systems. The objective of the course is to provide the student
with a basic understanding of how to model a dynamical system,
how to linearize it and how to control it based on a linear
model. State-space design based on pole-placement will be
emphasized. Design and sensitivity analysis via root-locus
will be studied. Students will design controllers
through P, PI, PID, phase-lead, and phase-lag filters. Concepts
of sensitivity and robustness will be studied in the frequency
domain, including Bode and Nyquist plots. Students will learn
how to transform linear dynamical systems between state-space
and frequency domains, and explore conditions for stability in
each domain. Concepts of robust control, including tradeoffs
between sensitivity and performance, will be emphasized
throughout. Applications will range across electrical,
mechanical, chemical, biomedical, and biological systems.
Prerequisite:
Students will
need a functional knowledge of differential equations, complex
variables,
