Description

To introduce the student to the study of dynamics of systems and to demonstrate and analyse a number of common systems, including circuits and mechanical systems.

Learning Outcomes

1. Develop mathematical models for a range of dynamical systems
2. Change between different mathematical model representations (differential equation, state-space and transfer function)
3. Calculate responses and examine the stability of systems
4. Simulate simple dynamical systems
