Description

INACTIVE - To provide the student with an understanding of the modelling and analysis of Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems, using state-space and transfer function descriptions.

Learning Outcomes

1. Derive mathematical models for lumped continuous electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical systems, and discrete-time population and sampled data systems.
2. Determine the linearity or otherwise of a system and be able to linearise non-linear continuous and discrete state equations using Taylor series expansion.
3. Transform models between state equation and input/output forms.
4. Simulate lumped dynamical systems using SIMULINK.
5. Solve continuous and discrete-time state space equations using a number of techniques.
6. Evaluate the response of a system from the transfer function.
7. Determine the stability of linear dynamical systems from knowledge of the eigenvalues or poles of a system.
8. Design a state feedback control system using elementary eigenvalue placement techniques.
9. Realise models in a number of state space forms.
