MAE 5780
Feedback Control Systems

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

This course covers the analysis and design of linear feedback systems in both the frequency and time domains. The course includes a laboratory that examines modeling and control of representative dynamic processes. The frequency domain aspects are analyzed via Laplace transforms, transfer functions, root locus, and frequency response methods. The time domain aspects are analyzed via state space models, stability, controllability, observability, state feedback, and observers.

When Offered Fall.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: CHEME 3720 or MAE 3260 or permission of instructor. 

Outcomes
  • Students will be able to obtain the linearization of a non-linear system about an operating point.
  • Students will be able to construct a transfer function representation of a linear dynamical system.
  • Students will be able to manipulate block diagrams and transfer functions.
  • Students will be able to understand the relationship between a linear system and its frequency response, and know how to construct a Bode plot.
  • Students will be able to know how to design traditional controllers such as Proportional, Integral, Derivate (PID), and Lead-Lag.
  • Students will be able to understand the concepts of stability, including gain and phase margins and Nyquist stability condition.
  • Students will be able to design control systems in the frequency domain using Bode plots and the Nyquist stability condition.
  • Students will be able to analyze control systems using Root Locus techniques.
  • Students will be able to apply the tools learned in the class to physical problems.
