Control System Design

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge and Understanding

Having successfully completed this module, you will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

• Model, analyse, and synthesise nonlinear dynamical systems
• Design pole placement state-feedback controller in the state space setting, also with observers in the loop
• Derive state space representation from a given transfer function representation
• Analyse nonlinear input--output systems by describing functions
• Check controllability/observability by rank test of the controllability/observability matrix
• Analyse linear dynamical systems by state space methods
• Derive state space representations for nonlinear systems from first principles
• Design controller using frequency domain methods
• Analyse stability of nonlinear autonomous systems by state space methods
