Course Description


This course is about Modeling multi-domain engineering systems at a level of detail suitable for design and control system implementation. It also describes Network representation, state-space models, Multiport energy storage and dissipation, Legendre transforms, Nonlinear mechanics, transformation theory, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian forms, Control-relevant properties. The application examples may include electro-mechanical transducers, mechanisms, electronics, fluid and thermal systems, compressible flow, chemical processes, diffusion, and wave transmission.



Grading Policy




Homework


About 6 homework problems will be assigned throughout the term at approximately two-week intervals.



Term Project


Students will be required to select a term project by Lec #8. A brief interim progress report will be required by Lec #16. Term projects must be completed by the last week of the term, at which time a final report will be due. A brief oral presentation of each term project will also be required.
