MEGR 8225: Linear Systems Theory

University of North Carolina, Charlotte

Analysis, simulation, and control design for mechanical and electrical systems modeled by linear state-space equations, including robotic and mechatronic systems, aerospace and ground vehicles, and circuits. Review of linear algebra, linearization, linear time-invariant state-space models, matrix transfer functions, state equation solutions (uniqueness/existence), state transition matrices, stability criteria, observability, controllability, realizations, similarity transforms, canonical forms, state feedback by eigenvalue-placement, numerical simulations and controller implementation in MATLAB.�Credit will not be given for MEGR 8225 where credit has been given for MEGR 7225, or ECGR 6111�or ECGR 8111.
