EGR 342 System Modeling and Analysis

Fall

This course uses analogies to introduce modeling of basic mechanical and electrical systems with a focus on real world applications.  Key topics include static and dynamic equilibrium force analysis, translations and rotational mechanical systems, simple electric circuits, as well as, multiple mathematical methods for solving systems of linear modeling equations such as Lapalce transforms, state space analysis and transfer functions.  In addition to analytical methods, we will also cover the basic use of Simulink to computationally model systems which will lead the way to analysis of damping behavior and dynamic stability in the time domain.  

  Prerequisite: 2.0 or higher in ME 270   or ECE 280 .
