Course Objective

This course aims to devolop students understanding of:
How the phenomenological complexity of real-world dynamic systems appear in mathematically described terms
How the non-linear dynamic systems and a class of control systems can be analysed via phase plane and Lyapunov stability approaches
How the richness of non-linear dynamic phenomena can be exploited for high-performance control systems engineering design.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To distunguish the differences between non-linear systems and linear systems
2   To define the equations of non-linear systems
3   To describe the non-linear model of an engineering system
4   To design sliding-mode control system
5   To compare the effects of the different controller parameters on the system
