ELEC 4455 - Control System Design


Prerequisite: ELEC 3355 , working knowledge of MATLAB and Simulink, or consent of the instructor This course fives students ample opportunity to apply system theory to the design and analysis of control systems using computer-aided design and analysis using MATLAB and LabVIEW MathScript.  Organized around the concept of control systems theory as it has been developed in the frequency and time domains, it provides coverage of classical control, employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots.  It also covers modern control methods based on state variable models including pole placement design techniques with full-state feedback controllers and full-state observers.  Practical applications of the methods studied in this course include a space shuttle, water tank, space station, blood pressure control, airplane lateral dynamics, robot-controlled motorcycle, automobile velocity control, six-legged ambler, hot ingot robot control, milling machine control, diesel electric locomotive, digital audio tape speed control, and fly-by-wire control. 3 credits
