Simulation of nonlinear dynamic systems. Includes numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), as well as their analysis from an equilibrium and stability standpoint. Physical modelling of systems in a number of domains will be introduced, with examples of mechanical, fluid power, electrical and biological systems. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPermission of the instructor is required. Prerequisite(s): Students should have experience with undergraduate controls and linear systems. Familiarity with Matlab is expected.
