Overview

The primary objective of this unit is to introduce the concept of dynamic feedback systems and to lay grounds for control system design. The unit commences with converting dynamic system models into input-output system representations such as transfer functions, block diagrams and state-space representations. Concepts of feedback and closed-loop stability … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to:
1.

Appreciate the significance and relevance of systems and associated control in engineering.

2.

Formulate and manipulate input-output representations of various linear dynamic systems such as transfer functions, state-space models and block diagrams.

3.

Calculate the response of input-output systems as in time-domain and frequency-domain analytically and numerically.

4.

Analyse the stability and dynamic performance of a feedback system using root locus, Bode plot and Nyquist methods, and apply these tools to design controller parameters to achieve the desired dynamic response.

5.

Discern the effects of non-linearity in systems and identify the limitations of the use of linear models as approximations.

Assessment summary

Continuous assessment: 40%

Final assessment: 60%

This unit contains hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
