System Dynamics and Controls

🌟 Unlock the Secrets of System Dynamics and Control with Dr. Cherish Qualls! 🌟

What is System Dynamics and Controls about?
Dive into the world of mathematical modeling and controls with our comprehensive course by Dr. Cherish Qualls, where you'll discover the intricacies behind generating equations to model a body's motion. Whether it's a pendulum swinging or a more complex system at play, this course will empower you to understand and represent these dynamics using differential equations, matrices, and more! You'll learn to analyze system stability, calculate errors using Laplace transforms, solve initial value problems, and explore various responses like first and second order systems, state space representation, block diagram reduction, Routh's Criterion for stability, steady-state error analysis, and the fascinating concept of root locus. 📊✨

Course Highlights:

• Laplace Transforms 🌱
• Transfer Functions 🤖
• Response Equations ⚫️
• Equations of Motion for Mechanical and Electrical Systems 🚀
• First Order Response 📈

And for those who prefer a hands-on approach, MATLAB examples and applications are provided throughout the course to enhance your understanding with visual aids. 💻

Who Should Enroll?
This course is tailored for:

• Current Students in similar classes seeking additional clarity 🎓
• Aspiring Engineers preparing for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, especially those focusing on system response and block diagrams 🏗️
• Curious Minds eager to expand their knowledge in a new field 🤔

Prior Knowledge Required:

A solid understanding of Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and System Dynamics is essential for this course. MATLAB proficiency is advantageous but not mandatory, as MATLAB content is separated for convenience. 📚

Course Format:

Dr. Qualls abhors the traditional PowerPoint-led engineering courses. Instead, her lectures are handwritten, ensuring a more engaging and personal learning experience. The course structure is designed to guide you from basic principles to complex concepts, with brief outlines for notes and short video segments (12-15 minutes) for your convenience. 📽️🖋️

Recommended Reading:

While the course stands on its own, having a textbook can be beneficial. Dr. Qualls recommends "Control Systems Engineering" by Nise, which is well-reviewed by students and provides ample examples for self-study. 📖

Preparation for Further Studies:

This course lays the foundation for advanced topics in Mechanical Vibrations, Feedback Control Systems, and more. It will also enhance your understanding of differential equations and their role in modeling system behavior. The state space information is particularly useful for graduate-level studies like Kalman filtering. 📈
