Lecture: MW9.30-11 (1-190)
Recitation: F10-11 (1-190)

This class is the second subject of two-term sequence on modeling,analysis and control of dynamic systems.
Below is an overview of the material that should be covered.

Kinematics and dynamics of mechanical systems including rigid bodies in plane motion.
Linear and angular momentum principles.
Impact and collision problems.
Linearization about equilibrium.
Free and forced vibrations.
Control of mechanical systems.
Integral and derivative action, lead and lag compensators.
Root-locus design methods.
Frequency-domain design methods.
Applications to case-studies of multi-domain systems.

Examinations:

There will be two midterms exams. on March 2 and April 11.
The 3-hour final exam is scheduled is Thursday, May 19 9:00AM - 12:00NOON in room 3-370.

For all the tests, the exam policy is the following:
- In class exams.
- Closed-Books and Closed-Notes
- Most important formulae will be provided appended to the exam problems.

Grade:

Your grade will computed as follows: We'll take the best of the these 2 following grades:

Final: 40%, Quiz1: 25%, Quiz2: 25%, Homework: 10%
Final: 45%, Quiz1: 27.5% Quiz2: 27.5% Homework: 0%

Note that the labs are mandatory to pass this class, no mattter how well you do on the tests. We can also look at the lab grades if the above grade is in the bordercase between two letters.

Text

None required. The following books are placed on reserve in Barker Library.
A. Bedford & W. Fowler, Dynamics,Addison-Wesley, 1995
W. J. Palm, III, Modeling, Analysis, and Control of Dynamic Systems, 2nd edition, John Wiley
Additionally, we recommend the following book: J. H. Williams, Jr., Fundamentals of Applied Dynamics, John Wiley, 1996.

Homework Policy

Problem sets are generally assigned on a weekly basis. No late homework will be accepted. We honestly believe that it's necessary for you to try and and think about them alone, in order to understand the material. You're allowed to discuss problems with your friends but to weriteup has to be your own.
When we compute your final grade, we'll only take the homeworks into account (as 10% of your grade ) if it improves your overall grade.
