MECH ENG 7047 - Dynamics & Control II

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2019

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, and 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. Additional time may need to be spent acquiring assumed knowledge, working on assessment during non-teaching periods, and preparing for and attending examinations.

  • Assessment

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

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

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

    Controls

    An assignment will be set approximately every four weeks. The computer tutorials are designed to provide instruction of Matlab and Simulink while simultaneously developing the understanding of the students’ control knowledge through simulation.

    Vibrations

    The Vibrationscoursework consists of assignments and two laboratories.

    Acoustics

    The Acoustics coursework consists of one assignment.

    Assessment Related Requirements

    Note that the laboratory experiments are compulsory and it is a requirement to pass the laboratory experiments to pass the course.

    Assessment Detail

    Acoustics

    The acoustics assignment is submitted electronically and comprises 4.5% of the total mark for this course.

    Controls

    Two assignments, each worth 4.5% of overall assessment. 10 computer tutorials, worth 3.75% of overall assessment.

    Vibrations

    Four (assessed) assignments provide 8.5% of the overall mark, with each assignment equally weighted. These assignments are set during the semester, each one released at least 2 weeks in advance of the submission deadline. The turnaround time for the return of marked assignments is weeks after the submission deadline. Late assignments are NOT accepted. Extensions are not granted.

    Two equally weighted laboratory classes through the semester provide 4.25% of the overall mark. Students must achieve 35% of the maximum possible Vibrations laboratory mark in order to be eligible to pass the course. Students who have successfully completed the labs in a previous attempt at the course are exempt.

    Variations in the assessment scheme are negotiable on medical and compassionate grounds.

    Submission

    All assignments and practical reports must be submitted either electronically or as a hard copy, as per instructions for each assessment, in the labelled box in the Mechanical Engineering submission area on Level 2 of Engineering South Building. Any assessment submitted as a hard copy must be accompanied by an assessment cover sheet available on the window ledge of room S116. Late assignments and reports will be penalised 10% per day. Extensions for assignments will only be given in exceptional circumstances and a case for this with supporting documentation can be made in writing after a lecture or via email to the lecturer. Hard copy assignments will be assessed and returned in 2 weeks of the due date. 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.

    All tutorials are submitted online using MyUni. Late tutorials cannot be accepted as they are submitted electronically via MyUni which automatically prevents submission after the due time on the due date.

    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

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
