OffersIntensive workshop/ coursein collaboration with
University of Arkansas, Little Rock, USAin
July 27-31, 2015 (0900-1700hrs) - Video Conference Room, IST
Overview:
This intensive workshop/ course about ‘Control Systems Design and Analysis’describethe time-domain system characteristics based on differential equations. Thisfocuses onthe compensator designfor continuous-time linear time-invariant systems. In addition to controller synthesis by pole-placement method, it will cover the optimum design using LQR methods, and linear matrix inequality based control design. The course illustrates the use of state-space methods in system analysis and design using real-world application examples drawn from aerospace, electrical, mechanical and mechatronics systems such as spacecraft, aircraft, ground/ marine and dynamic systems.
Primary Topics:
- State-space models of LTI systems.
- Solution to state equations.
- Linear transformations.
- Controllability and observability characteristics of state-space models.
- Stability analysis and Controller synthesis via state feedback.
- Tracking system design.
- Observer-based compensator design.
- Optimal control design using quadratic integral performance criterion, optimal observers, & linear matrix inequalities in controller synthesis.
- Engineering Application in space/ aerospace/ ground/ marine systems.
