Description
MECE 407. CONTROL SYSTEMS. A study of the design and analysis of feedback control systems. Topics include: modeling of dynamic systems (mechanical, electro-mechanical, thermal and fluid), a review of Laplace transform techniques, steady-state error, stability, root locus design methods, Bode analysis/stability margins, and Bode compensator design. Introduction to state-space techniques and the digital implementation of controllers. Includes MATLAB/Simulink simulations. Prerequisites: Electrical Engineering 210, Engineering 274, and Mechanical Engineering 316. Fall semester only, three hours.
