Theory of Dynamic Systems

The course is a substitute for:

Supervisor:

Department of Control Engineering

Synopsis:

The notion of system serves to describe and understand complex engineering,

natural, economic, and social phenomena; it facilitates a connected study of

these phenomena.

A definition of system is proposed; description and realization of systems

are presented. Internal dynamics, input and output constraints are studied.

Methods of altering the system dynamics are explored.

The theory is illustrated by examples. Laboratory experiments include

modeling and control of electromechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, heating and

magnetic small-scale systems in real time using RT MATLAB.

Requirements:

Basic knowledge of Linear algebra, Basic knowledge of control theory.
