Module Aims
Module Aims: To provide the student with the ability to analyse complex control and dynamic systems
Content Summary
Content Summary:
Power Transmission systems that will include analysis of
gear systemsepicyclic gearsbelts
Acceleration diagrams for link mechanisms such as slider and four bar chains
Balancing of non co-planar mechanisms
Vibration - Free un-damped, free damped vibration, forced damped vibration
Laplace transform analysis; transfer functions; determining transient response for low-order transfer functions; estimating transfer functions from sparse or noisy measurement data
The s-plane; pole-zero maps; relating transient response features to pole and zero locations; pole-placement design; the root-locus
Frequency domain analysis and design: Bode diagrams, compensator design (typically: phase lead; phase lag; lead/lag)
Digital control: difference equations and the z-transform; discrete realisation of continuous controllers
