Course Objectives This course aims to introduce the basic concepts, control principles and definitions of automatic control, transfer function, time domain analysis and stability of control systems. Automatic control is one of the basic necessary courses for teaching aerospace engineering students.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Be able to define the basic definitions and principles of automatic control,
  • Be able to describe various types of mechanical, electrical, etc. dynamical systems,
  • Be able to obtain transfer functions and state representation of dynamical systems,
  • Be able to describe the representation of open loop and closed loop control systems,
  • Be able to analyze the concept of stability and the stability methods of the linear systems,
Course Description The course covers the topics of principles of control, open loop systems, closed loop systems, Laplace transform method, transfer functions and block diagrams, signal flow graphs, analysis of control systems in the time domain, time responses of systems, steady state error of systems, stability analysis of linear feedback control systems and the concept of stability.
