Textbook:

Modern Control Systems , 10 th Ed., by: R.C. Dorf and R.H. Bishop, ISBN 0-13-030660-6, Prentice Hall, 2001

Course Objectives:

This course deals with the fundamental principles of control systems. The course aims to develop the basic understanding of control system theory and its role in engineering design. The student is exposed to many practical problems and their solutions. The laboratory work presents the opportunity to experiment with actual control systems hardware.

DESIGN SOFT SKILL:

1. TEACHING – Problem Analysis: An ability to identify, formulate, research and solve complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions.
2. PRACTICE – Problems given in the assignments and lab projects will involve significantly the activities mentioned in the above.
3. DESIGN -- An ability to design solutions for complex engineering problems and to design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

Topics Covered:

1. Chapter 1: Introduction - Basic Concepts, Definitions, Classifications, History
2. Chapter 2: Systems Modeling - Linear vs. Nonlinear Systems, Modeling Procedures, Laplace Transforms, Transfer Function, Poles & Zeros, Block Diagrams, Signal Flow Graphs
3. Chapters 4,5: Characteristics and Performance of Feedback Systems - System Response, Steady-State Error, Sensitivity to Disturbances.
4. Chapter 6: System Stability - Definitions, Routh-Hurwitz Criterion.
5. Chapter 7: Root-Locus Method - Concept, Plotting Procedures, Applications.
6. Chapters 8,9: Frequency Response - Concepts, Frequency Response Plots, Nyquist Criterion,
7. Gain and Phase Margins, Nichols Chart, Transport Lag Effects.
8. Chapter 10: Feedback System Design - Compensator Concepts and Configurations, Phase-Lag, Phase-Lead, PID-Controller, Root-Locus Design, Frequency Response Design.

Notes:

1. Students are encouraged to use MATLAB in problem solving.
2. Transfers between lab sections are not allowed.
3.  Repeating students are exempt from labs. Please provide year/section information to the instructor.
