Learning outcomes of the course unit

Analysis and design of nonlinear feedback control systems. Students will obtain the basic knowledge of automation, description and classification of nonlinear control systems, determination of their characteristics. Students will be able to solve problems of stability of control systems. They will obtain the knowledge of state-space representation of system.

Prerequisites

Fundamental concepts of the methods used in the analysis and design of linear continuous feedback control systems. Essential principles of automatic control, logical control and PLC systems. The differential equations of control systems, transient response, frequency analysis, stability of systems.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

In order to be awarded the course-unit credit students must prove 100% active participation in laboratory exercises and elaborate a paper on the presented themes. The exam is written and oral. In the written part a student compiles two main themes which were presented during the lectures and solves three examples. The oral part of the exam will contain discussion of tasks and possible supplementary questions.

Aims

The aim of the course is to formulate and establish basic conceptions of automatic control. State-space representation of dynamic system and analysis and design methods for nonlinear systems are presented.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance and activity at the seminars are required. One absence can be compensated for by attending a seminar with another group in the same week, or by elaboration of substitute tasks. Longer absence can be compensated for by the elaboration of compensatory tasks assigned by the tutor.
