Courses / Module

• Develop mathematical models for a range of dynamical systems.
• Change between different mathematical model representations (differential equation, state-space and transfer function).
• Linearise a nonlinear system about an operating point.
• Calculate responses of simple dynamical systems.
• Determine the stability of dynamical systems.
• Analyse simple systems using Bode plots.
• Use Simulink to simulate simple dynamical systems.

• Module Graded (numeric value) or Ungraded (Pass/Not Passed): Graded

• Pass standard: 40%
• Could the result of this module be capped? No
• Penalties: Missed labs and class tests cannot be repeated, in general.

• Are supplemental/resit registrations permitted? Yes
• The continuous assessment mark is carried forward as there is no facility for repeating the continuous assessment elements of the course.
• University scheduled written examination (Autumn): 120 minutes
• Is Supplemental Continuous Assessment registration permitted? No
• Is Supplemental Continuous Assessment capped? No
