Level 5
15 credits in spring semester
Teaching method: Workshop, Lecture, Practical
Assessment modes: Coursework, Unseen examination
Systems Analysis and Control provides you with an introduction to fundamental systems analysis and control topics, which help you understand how a control system works and how a system should be analysed.
You will learn how to develop mathematical models and analyse dynamical systems, as well as how to design control systems for particular applications in this module.
Topics include:
- transfer functions, block diagrams
- modelling of mechanical and electrical systems
- systems dynamics, first and second-order systems
- stability analysis
- frequency response
- root locus method
- PID control
- phase lead/lag compensators
- state space equations.
Module learning outcomes
- Apply knowledge of linear systems to solve practical engineering problems
- Analyse and evaluate the performance of linear control systems in time and frequency domains
- Select and apply appropriate techniques to model mechanical and electrical systems
- Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to analyse and design linear control systems
