Automatic Control

7.5 credits

All treated dynamical systems are time continuous and time invariant. With a few exceptions, they are all linear.

Introduction to automatic control: history, examples of control system and basic concepts of automatic control.
Modeling of dynamical system using time invariant ordinary differential equations. Linearization, state-space model, weighting function, Laplace transform, transfer function, Nyquist- and Bode diagram.
Analysis of dynamic system. Concepts of stability. Analysis of stability using Root locus, Routh-Hurwitz criterion, the
principle of the argument and the Nyquist criterion. Gain margin and phase margin.
Synthesis of control systems. Specifications, pole-placement,
lead-lag compensation, PID-controller, feed forward, cascade compensation, robustness, sensitivity for disturbances and changes in parameters.

Växjö – the student city with a vibrant campus

Just south of Växjö city centre lies Campus Växjö. Many students choose to live on campus.

Here you have friends, restaurants, lecture halls, gyms, a supermarket, the university library, outdoor recreation areas, and student pubs – all within a five-minute walk. You can also live in other parts of Växjö and easily reach the university by bike or bus.

With nearly 100 000 inhabitants, Växjö is one of Sweden’s fastest-growing cities. It has a strong Småland entrepreneurial spirit and a diverse business sector – perfect when you’re looking for a placement, an internship, or a job.

Växjö is also a scenic city, where you’re always close to forests and lakes, and it offers plenty of events and experiences, ranging from music and food to sports.
