A unit of study in the Graduate Certificate of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing Technology), Master of Technology (Advanced Manufacturing Technology), Master of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing Technology) . Master of Engineering Science (Advanced Manufacturing Technology)
This unit will assist students to gain the knowledge of applied nonlinear systems. Students will then be able to explore the dynamic properties of a wide range of applied nonlinear systems and develop skills for nonlinear system modelling, analysis and control. In addition, students will be exposed to some examples of applied nonlinear system research in engineering disciplines. It is assumed that students already have some background of basic engineering mathematics. After successfully completing this unit, student should be able to: Develop an understanding of the operational behaviours of a wide range of applied nonlinear systems in different engineering disciplines.Model nonlinear engineering systems and analyse their fundamental properties.Apply nonlinear control theory to design nonlinear controllers and improve stability and dynamic performance of the closed-loop nonlinear systems.Linearize nonlinear systems for further exploration in design and analysis.
Lectures
Written Exam (worth 50%),Assignments (worth 50%).
In completion of this unit, it is expected that the students: Are informed and knowledgeable in the area.Have an appreciation of areas of uncertainty within a body of knowledge.Have the ability to engage in informed critical inquiry.Have the ability to operate effectively and ethically in work and community situations.Have the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
