Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course is organized as follows: (1) Dynamics of structures in view of controlling them (2) Electromagnetic and piezoelectric transducers. (3) Integration of transducers in active structures. (4) Modeling piezoelectric structures. (5) Active damping with collocated pairs. (6) Active isolation. (7) Practical implementation (8) Introduction to advanced control techniques.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student will be capable of modeling electro-mechanical and piezoelectric systems, studying their dynamic behavior, and controlling their vibrations.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
As the course is assuming some basic knowledge in automatic control, students willing to take this course should have passed one of these courses before registering to this course:
SYST0003:Linear control systems
AERO036: Spacecraft control
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Exercise sessions, numerical simulations and laboratories.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
The course will take place each Thursday afternoon at 1.45pm, starting from Thursday the 15th of September.
It will be organized in building B52, room +1/823.
The theoretical lecture will be organized using BBcollaborate. It will be followed by a face-to-face exercise session in the same room.
