Control System Design

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge and Understanding

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

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

Summative

This is how we’ll formally assess what you have learned in this module.

Referral

This is how we’ll assess you if you don’t meet the criteria to pass this module.

Repeat

An internal repeat is where you take all of your modules again, including any you passed. An external repeat is where you only re-take the modules you failed.
