Description

This course presents the application of control theory to some basic mechanical systems. In addition, concepts of vibration analysis such as Modal Analysis will be introduced for both discrete systems and continuous systems. The equivalence of continuous and discrete systems modelling will be brought out by typical examples. Important concepts like mode shapes and their orthogonal properties with respect to mass and stiffness matrices will be introduced for both continuous and discrete systems.
