The teaching is based on 'learning by doing'. There
will be introductory and summing up lectures. Project work in small
groups includes tutorial exercises, assignments, lab exercises,
computer simulations and case studies.

Overordnede kursusmål:
“Control Engineering” treats the methods and techniques used to
control physical quantities in machines, process plants, houses,
etc. The course gives both a theoretical and practical background
in the formulation and solution of control problems within
engineering systems.
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Select physical laws for description of simple dynamic
system's properties.
Derive mathematical models of mechanical, electrical, fluid and
thermal systems and represent them in block diagram form.
Carry out necessary manipulations on the mathematical models
including linearization of nonlinear differential equations.
Derive transfer functions for linear systems.
Determine characteristic parameters for 1st and 2nd order
systems.
Apply frequency response methods to linear systems.
Analyze open-loop and closed-loop systems based on transfer
functions.
Evaluate the relation between the systems’ characteristic
parameters and their time and frequency responses.
Carry out stability analysis of control systems.
Design and select standard controllers by analytical means and
by empirical tuning.
Use the computer software MATLAB/Simulink for the analysis,
design and simulation of control systems.
Kursusindhold:
Fundamental concepts in control systems with feedback. Formulation
of models of physical systems. Differential equations.
Linearization. Laplace transformation and transfer functions.
Root-locus and frequency analysis. Basic design methods in both the
frequency domain and the time domain. Stability. Applications of
standard controllers and compensators. The theoretical results of
the course will be illustrated by practical examples.
This course is an integrated part of the study program Industrial
Innovation” in Mechanical Engineering. It is, however, relevant to
other engineering students interested in topics such as the control
of various quantities in power plants, chemical industry, in robots
and steering systems for cars, ships and airplanes.
