DYNAMICS OF CONTROLLED SYSTEMS

CBE 470

A systematic introduction to dynamic behavior and automatic control of industrial processes; lab includes instrumentation, measurement and control of process variables by using conventional hardware and real-time digital computers.

ME 340

Mathematical modeling and analysis of dynamic systems with mechanical, thermal, and fluid elements. Topics: time domain solutions, analog computer simulation, linearization techniques, block diagram representation, numerical methods and frequency domain solutions. Students are assumed to have basic competence in particle and planar rigid body dynamics, matrix and vector algebra, and linear differential equations.

ME 746

Emphasis on obtaining equations which define the behavior of physical systems frequently subjected to control; mechanical processing, fluid power, and thermal systems; analytical, experimental, and computer techniques. Knowledge of Automatic Controls [such asM E 446orE C E 332] is required.

ECE/ME 577

Control theory is reduced to engineering practice through the analysis and design of actual systems in the laboratory. Experiments are conducted with modern servo systems using both analog and digital control. Systems identification and modern controls design are applied to motion and torque control.

ECE/ME 733

Digital control theory, design methodology, and techniques for controller implementation on digital computers. Advanced single and multi-axis motion generation algorithms. Multiple processor control systems. Multiple objective control systems for machinery guidance and manufacturing processes. Precision control. Knowledge of continuous and discrete time control [such asM E 447orE C E 332] is required.
