| Course objective | : | In practice many systems are nonlinear. The objective of the course is to provide necessary background to understand, analyze and control such systems. These include nonlinear models and nonlinear phenomena; second-order systems, phase portraits; some fundamental properties of nonlinear state equations such as existence, uniqueness; stability analysis (Lyapunov, input-output, passivity); frequency domain analysis; controller design methods for nonlinear systems such as feedback linearization and sliding-mode control. |
| Learning outcomes | : | A student completing the course successfully is expected to understand the nature of nonlinear systems. be aware of difficulties involving nonlinear systems. be able to use some techniques to analyse nonlinear systems. be able to use some techniques to design controllers for nonlinear systems. have a suitable background to follow further studies in nonlinear systems and control. |
| Course content | : | Introduction to nonlinear systems and some examples. Second order systems and phase plane. Lyapunov stability. Input-output stability. Passivity. Frequency domain analysis: absolute stability, circle criterion, Popov criterion, describing function method . Nonlinear control systems design: feedback linearization and sliding-mode control. |
