Objectives
THE MODULE WILL PROVIDE THE STUDENT WITH THE BASIC TOOLS RELATED TO THE ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
•ANALYSIS OF CONTINUOUS-TIME AND DISCRETE-TIME DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS;
•UNDERSTANDING OF THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEMS;
•DESIGN OF FEEDBACK CONTROLLERS ABLE TO GUARANTEE STABILITY AND TO MINIMIZE STEADY-STATE ERRORS;
•SYNTHESIS OF DIGITAL CONTROL ALGORITHMS EQUIVALENT TO A GIVEN CONTROLLER;
•STANDARD REGULATORS.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
•ANALYSIS OF DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS LEVERAGING NUMERICAL TOOLS.
•EVALUATION OF FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEMS LEVERAGING NUMERICAL TOOLS.
Prerequisites
FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE GOALS A BASIC MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE IS REQUIRED, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO MATRIX CALCULUS AND SYSTEMS OF ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS.
Contents
CONTINUOUS-TIME DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS (LECTURE / PRACTICE / LABORATORY HOURS 4/2/2)
LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR SYSTEMS. LINEARIZATION AND EQUILIBRIA. STATE-SPACE REPRESENTATION. STABILITY. EXAMPLE SYSTEMS FROM DIFFERENT DOMAINS (E.G. DC MOTOR, PENDULUM, MAGNETIC LEVITATOR, PLANAR 2-DOF MANIPULATOR, BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM).

ANALYSIS WITH THE LAPLACE-TRANSFORM (LECTURE / PRACTICE / LABORATORY HOURS 4/4/2)
DEFINITION AND PROPERTIES. RESPONSE OF LINEAR SYSTEMS. FREE RESPONSE OF SYSTEMS. STABILITY CRITERIA FOR LINEAR SYSTEMS.

TRANSFER FUNCTION (LECTURE / PRACTICE / LABORATORY HOURS 4/8/2)
REPRESENTATIONS OF THE TRANSFER FUNCTION. FORCED RESPONSE. STEP RESPONSE OF 1ST AND 2ND ORDER SYSTEMS. BLOCK DIAGRAMS. SYSTEM REALIZATION. TIME DELAY.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE (LECTURE / PRACTICE / LABORATORY HOURS 4/6/2)
SINUSOIDAL STEADY-STATE RESPONSE AND HARMONIC THEOREM. BODE DIAGRAM AND POLAR DIAGRAM

DISCRETE-TIME DYNAMICAL SYSTEM. (LECTURE / PRACTICE / LABORATORY HOURS 4/4/2)
STABILITY. Z-TRANSFORM ANALYSIS. FREE RESPONSE. STABILITY CRITERION. TRANSFER FUNCTION. SAMPLED-DATA SYSTEMS

FEEDBACK CONTROL (LECTURE / PRACTICE / LABORATORY HOURS 8/6/4)
BENEFITS OF FEEDBACK CONTROL. SPECIFICATIONS FOR A CONTROL SYSTEM. STEADY-STATE REQUIREMENTS. CLOSED-LOOP STABILITY. ROBUST STABILITY. STANDARD REGULATORS. DIGITAL CONTROLLERS.

TOTAL LECTURE / PRACTICE / LABORATORY HOURS (28/30/14)
Teaching Methods
LECTURES SUPPORTED BY PROBLEM-SOLVING TUTORIALS WITH PRACTICAL ASPECTS ALSO COVERED DURING LECTURES.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST WHICH MAY CONTAIN PROBLEM SETS TO ASSESS KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS AS WELL AS PRACTICAL SKILLS. ADDITIONALLY, AN INTERVIEW MIGHT BE REQUIRED. THE FINAL EVALUATION WILL BE EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS; THE CUM LAUDE CAN BE GIVEN TO THE TESTS THAT, WHILE BEING COMPLETELY CORRECT, ALSO HAVE A CLEAR PRESENTATION OF THE METHODS USED. FOLLOWING THE DECISIONS OF THE DIDACTIC BOARD, THERE MIGHT BE A MID-TERM TEST ACCOUNTING TOWARDS THE FINAL RESULT.
