Modeling Dynamics and Control II

This course is the second subject of a two-term sequence on modeling, analysis and control of dynamic systems. Topics covered include:

• kinematics and dynamics of mechanical systems, including rigid bodies in plane motion
• linear and angular momentum principles
• impact and collision problems
• linearization about equilibrium
• free and forced vibrations
• sensors and actuators
• control of mechanical systems
• integral and derivative action, lead and lag compensators
• root-locus design methods
• frequency-domain design methods
• applications to case-studies of multi-domain systems
