MECE 3304 System Dynamics

The course covers lumped-parameter modeling of mechanical, electrical, fluid and thermal systems. An energetic approach based on bond graph techniques, invented in 1959 by Henry M. Paytner, is introduced. Primary focus is on analysis of linear first- and second-order systems with some exposure to analysis of higher-order systems. Transient and steady-state responses are examined. Time and frequency-domain analysis methods are covered. Advanced topics include state-space modeling and feedback control of dynamic systems.
