CODE 94786 ACADEMIC YEAR 2022/2023 CREDITS 5 cfu anno 2 INGEGNERIA MECCANICA - PROGETTAZIONE E PRODUZIONE 9269 (LM-33) - LA SPEZIA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-INF/04 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION LA SPEZIA SEMESTER 1° Semester TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course deals with the analysis and synthesis methodologies of control systems for mechatronic systems. In particular, SISO (single input - single output) methods for linear and time invariant systems (LTI) are developed in the frequency domain. The course also aims to provide a concise overview of modeling and control approaches for multivariable linear dynamical systems in state space as well as linearization for non-linear systems. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Provide the knowledge and acquire the skills for the synthesis and implementation of control architectures, with particular attention to the implementation on embedded systems of driving, navigation and control architectures of autonomous and semi-autonomous systems. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Knowledge and understanding: Provide adequate knowledge in order to understand the role of control systems for linear time invariant SISO (single input - single output) plants. In particular, the expected learning outcomes are related to the understanding of open-loop and closed-loop control solutions. Central are the concepts of stability of SISO dynamical systems, robustness to model uncertainties and exogenous disturbances. Regarding the ability to apply knowledge, at the end of the course the student must be familiar with: Modeling simple dynamic systems, deducing their representation in the state pace and in terms of interconnection of transfer functions in the frequency domain. Carrying out the frequency analysis of transfer functions and structural properties in the state space. Evaluating the properties and performances of a control system (reduction / cancellation of steady-state errors in response to polynomial and sinusoidal inputs, evaluation of dynamic behaviors, role of dominant poles, bandwidth, etc.) Evaluating the compatibility of the assigned control specifications with the characteristics of the given system. In case of incompatibility, knowing how to reformulate new specifications compatible with the plant and the boundary conditions assigned. Synthesize a regulator for a given plant, capable of satisfying the specifications of dynamic and steady-state behavior. Autonomy of judgment, communication skills: The autonomy of judgment must be manifested by demonstrating understanding of the concepts and methods described in the course. Learning skills: Learning skills will be measured (qualitatively) during lectures, receptions, and exercises which will be based on the maximum possible active participation. Final learning ability will be assessed globally and quantitatively in the exam. PREREQUISITES Knowledge of general concepts and methodological tools of functional analysis and linear algebra.
