Rationale
This unit will enable students to deal with multi-domain engineering systems at a level of detail suitable for design and control system implementation. They will be able to understand network representation, state-space models, multi-port energy storage and dissipation, Legendre transforms, nonlinear mechanics, transformation theory, Lagrange and Hamiltonian forms and control-relevant properties. Application examples will provide students with practical knowledge, focused on electro-mechanical transducers, mechanisms, electronics, fluid and thermal systems, compressible flow, chemical processes, diffusion, and wave transmission.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this unit students will:
understand the basic concepts of system modelling;
understand the techniques for the modelling of a dynamical system;
understand state-space models and simulation;
understand nonlinear mechanical systems;
understand how to solve hybrid system simulation at mission level.
