EC4350 Nonlinear Control Systems

This course presents techniques for automatic control of nonlinear systems with application to current military and robotic systems. Main topics include the analysis and design of nonlinear systems with phase plane and describing function methods, Lyapunov and sliding mode control techniques. Accuracy limit cycles, jump resonances, relay servos, and discontinuous systems will also be considered.
