Abstract
Model development with applications to mechanical engineering systems. First and higher order system responses. Laplace transform, transfer functions and block diagrams. Frequency response and vibration. Introduction to feedback control. Concepts of PID control, tuning and compensation. Routh-Hurwitz stability. Control analysis and design using various graphical methods such as root locus, Bode diagram, Nyquist plot and Nichols chart. Hands-on experiments include dynamics and controls of mechanical, servo motor, fluid level/flow, pneumatic and temperature processing systems and vibration of various degree-of-freedom systems.
