MECH ENG 3028 - Dynamics & Control II

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2020

Dynamic systems are found everywhere, from musical instruments to transportation vehicles such as automobiles and aircraft. Even static civil 最新糖心Vlog such as bridges and buildings exhibit a dynamic response, which must be considered during design and construction of such systems. This course introduces the fundamental concepts of vibrating dynamical systems, from single degree of freedom systems through to continuous and multi-degree of freedom systems. Design of vibration control devices, such as vibration isolators and vibration absorbers, is also considered. A module on engineering acoustics covers the fundamentals of acoustics, an introduction to psychoacoustics, general noise control, and occupational and environmental noise assessment. Concurrently, this course also addresses how to control such dynamic systems using modern state-space control. This involves time domain descriptions of dynamic systems using state-space system models. The characteristics responsible for the dynamic response (poles, zeros, eigenvalues) are presented. Control laws using state-space are introduced, including specification of controller characteristics, controller design using pole placement and optimal (LQR) control (introduction). State observers are presented, including observer design using both pole placement and optimal (Kalman) observers (introduction). Finally, a computer aided control system design methodology is applied to a real MIMO Aerospace platform and several other unstable MIMO systems.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

As per university recommendations, it is expected that students spend 48hrs/week during teaching periods, and that a 3 unit course has a minimum workload of 156 hours regardless of the length of the course.

Specific Course Requirements

Nil.

The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

* The specific due date for each assessment task will be available on MyUni. The detailed assessment
breakdown for the individual Acoustics, Auto Contgrol II and Vibrations components is shown under Assessment Detail.

** See Assessment Related Requirements.

This assessment breakdown complies with the 最新糖心Vlog's Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy.

Auto Control II

The Auto Control II coursework comprises computer-lab based tutorials, quizzes and assignments. An assignment will be set approximately every four weeks. The computer lab-based tutorials are designed to provide instruction of Matlab and Simulink while simultaneously developing the understanding of the students’ control knowledge through simulation.

Vibrations

The Vibrations coursework consists of quizzes, assignments and one laboratory experiment.

Acoustics

The Acoustics coursework consists of one assignment.

Assessment Related Requirements

Note that the laboratory experiment is compulsory and that to pass the course each student must: attend the Vibrating Beam laboratory experiment (either in person or remotely); submit a lab report; and obtain at least 35% of the total possible lab mark.

Assessment Detail

Acoustics (weighted at 15% of overall course mark)

The acoustics assignment is submitted electronically and comprises 40% of the Acoustics component mark. The exam comprises 60% of the Acoustics component mark.

Controls (weighted at 42.5% of overall course mark)

The Controls assessment comprises 16 webinar quizzes each worth 0.5 mark (8% of Controls component in total), 12 CARM Lab quizzes each worth 1 mark (12% of Controls component in total), and two assignments submitted electronically worth 20% of the Controls component mark. The exam comprises 60% of the Controls component mark.

Vibrations (weighted at 42.5% of overall course mark)

The Vibrations assessment comprises quizzes (10% of Vibrations component in total), two assignments submitted electronically (20% of Vibrations component in total), and the Vibrating Beam laboratory experiment worth 10% of the Vibrations component mark. The exam comprises 60% of the Vibrations component mark.

Variations in the assessment scheme are negotiable only on medical or compassionate grounds or extenuating circumstances.

Submission

All quizzes, assignments and practical reports must be submitted electronically via MyUni as per instructions for each assessment. Late reports will be penalised 10% per day. All quizzes, tutorials and assignments are submitted online using Mobius/MyUni. Late submissions are not possible as Mobius/MyUni automatically prevents submission after the due time on the due date, unless an extension has been granted and implemented in Mobius/MyUni by the Course Coordinator.

Extensions for assignments will only be given in exceptional circumstances and a case for this with supporting documentation can
be made in writing via email to the Course Coordinator. The Course Coordinator must receive a completed Application for Assessment Extension form (/policies/3303/?dsn=policy.document;field=data;id=7446;m=view) prior to the Assessment Deadline when a student is seeking an extension. There are only three grounds for which an extension can be granted: Medical Circumstances, Compassionate Circumstances and/or Extenuating Circumstances. Course Coordinators cannot grant extensions based on balancing student workloads.

There will be no opportunities for re-submission of work of unacceptable standard.

Due to the large size of the class feedback on assignments will be limited to in-class discussion resulting from questions from students and individual automatic feedback through Mobius/MyUni.

Course Grading

Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
Grade	Mark	Description
FNS		Fail No Submission
F	1-49	Fail
P	50-64	Pass

Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

Final results for this course will be made available through .

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
