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.

Evaluation methods
The exam is written, on site. An exam of adapted form will be proposed to the students with a valid quarantine certificate or a 'formulaire retour' from the Foreign Office, if the teacher (Jean-Charles Delvenne) is warned asap and in any case before the main exam. This alternative exam will cover the same topics as the main exam, and will be organised in a form compatible with the situation of the student.
