Control laws using state-space are introduced, including specification of controller characteristics, controller design using pole placement and optimal (LQR) control (introduction). The characteristics responsible for the dynamic response (poles, zeros, eigenvalues) are presented. This involves time domain descriptions of dynamic systems using state-space system models.
REAL CONTROL 2 HOW TO
A module on engineering acoustics covers the fundamentals of acoustics, and introduction to psychoacoustics, general noise control, and occupational and environmental noise assessment.Ĭoncurrently, this course also addresses how to control such dynamic systems using modern state-space control. Design of vibration control devices, such as vibration isolators and vibration absorbers, is also considered. This course introduces the fundamental concepts of vibrating dynamical systems, from single degree of freedom systems through to continuous and multi-degree of freedom systems. Even static civil structures such as bridges and buildings exhibit a dynamic response, which must be considered during design and construction of such systems.

Dynamic systems are found everywhere, from musical instruments to transportation vehicles such as automobiles and aircraft.
