This course focuses on methods to analyse and control the behaviour of dynamic systems. This includes the vibration behaviour of bars and beams, in which the mass and stiffness are continuously distributed, rather than concentrated in discrete elements. The course covers analytical methods to determine natural frequencies, mode shapes and stresses in vibrating systems, and provides an introduction to numerical methods for solving more complex systems. It also delivers a broad range of methods for students to analyse and evaluate the stability and performance of feedback controlled closed-loop systems, equipping them with the necessary knowledge to master controller design. Systems modelling and identification from experimental data are also covered.
Aims: The aim of this course is to examine and explain the vibrational behaviour of bars and beams, in which the mass and stiffness are continuously distributed, and to provide students with the ability to analyse, evaluate and create closed-loop feedback controllers using different techniques. Algebraic, numerical and experimental techniques will be explored.
Upon successful completion of the unit students will be able to:-
The unit will be delivered through materials including videos and narrated lectures which will be made available to students online.
The unit will be assessed using a single examination. Feedback will be provided to students during the year.
