Biblioteca ingegneria: ING 731-123.- Educational objectives
- The aim of the course is to provide basic notions on system analysis and feedback control design for linear time-invariant continuos-time systems.
In particular, at the end of the course the student should have:
a) knowledge of control oriented modeling techniques of mechanical, thermal and electrical systems;
b) knowledge of the basic methods for system analysis;
c) knowlegde of the basic methods for feedback control system design;
d) ability of designing control system architectures.
e) ability of using software tools for analysis, design and simulation of dynamic systems. - Prerequisites
- Matematica I and II courses (derivatives, integrals, ordinary differential equations).
Fisica generale.
Elettrotecnica (electric circuits, dc motor). - Teaching methods
- Standard lectures and exercises in classroom.
- Other information
- None.
- Learning verification modality
The examination consists of a written and an oral test.
The written test duration is 3 hours and consists of 2 exercises and an open question.
The exercises deal with continuous time control systems analysis and design.
The open question requires the schematic illustration of a topic discussed during the course.
The aim of the written test is to evaluate the ability of applying the different analysis and design methods and the ability of expose the results in a clear and concise manner.
The oral exam, typically, takes place some days following the written text.
The aim of the oral test is to evaluate the understanding of the different arguments and the ability of expose them in a clear and rigorous manner.- Extended program
