Course description and aims

This course focuses on modeling of electric motor systems, electric circuits, vibration systems etc., and covers analysis techniques of linear time-invariant systems and design method of feedback control systems as a basis of linear control theory.
The topics include transfer function derivation of dynamic models, analytical techniques of system characteristics using the transfer functions, and design methods of feedback control systems based on the definition of system stability and some stability criterions.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Derive transfer functions of linear time-invariant systems from their dynamic models.
2) Have an understanding of analytical techniques using block diagram, vector locus and bode diagram, and on the basis of them, examine system characteristics expressed as transfer functions.
3) Explain the definition of stability and confirm system stability.
4) Have an understanding of feedback control systems and their design methods based on classical control systems and deign control systems that satisfy design specifications

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

Handout will be distributed.

Assessment criteria and methods

Students’ course scores are based on reports, little exam and exercises (70%), and final exam (30%).
If the final exam cannot be conducted, it will be replaced with reports or exercises.
