Modelling and analysis of dynamical systems
Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Prerequisites
Basic calculus and linear algebra, such as taught in LFSAB1101 (Mathématiques I) et LFSAB1102 (Mathématiques II)
Main themes
First part : presentation of the modelling principles and methods in various areas of engineering sciences : electricity, mechanics, chemical and biochemical processes, environment. Second part : presentation of the major methods for the analysis of the structural properties of state space models : state transformations, equilibria, stability and attractors, controllability, singular perturbations.
Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 Learning outcomes:
  • AA1 : 1,2,3
  • AA4 : 1,2,3,4  
  • AA5 : 2,3,5,6       
More specifically, at the end of the course the student:
  • will be aware of the unifying character of the state space model concept in engineering sciences.
  • will be able to model a wide span of situations encountered in diverse engineering sciences
  • will be able to analyze the properties of those dynamical systems defined on a state space
Transversal learning outcomes:
  • Using Matlab and Simulink for the modelling and simulation of dynamical systems.
