Topics to be covered
This course will provide basic understanding of the fundamentals of control systems from basics of control theory to control mechanisms in physiological systems. The tentative topics to be covered in the course are
Introduction to control system, classification, open and closed loop control systems
Transfer function, free and forced response, poles and zeros
Response to various standard inputs, effect of poles, effect of zeros
First and second order systems
notion of stability, stability criterion
Controllers, proportional (P), Integral (I) and derivative (D) controllers
Performance characterisation, steady state errors, root locus method
Frequency Response, Bode plots, Nyquist plot, control design
Control system analysis in state space
Logistics
Assignments: The course has no assignments. Instead, practice problems will be given at regular intervals. Students are not expected to submit the answers to these problems
Answers/solutions to the practice problems will not be provided. Students are encouraged to utilize the discussion hour to discuss the problems if they want to.
Exams: There are two exams scheduled (roughly) at the end of each segment. See above for dates.
Course policies
Attendance: Attendance is not mandatory in the classes.
Missing exams: On missing an exam due to a medical emergency you will be allowed to write a make-up exam on producing a medical certificate from the institute health center. Missing the exam due to any other reason will result in no marks.
Use of unfair means (e.g. plagiarism, copying etc.) is unacceptable in the course. Any sign of it will result in a severe penalty.
Some suggestions
The best way to follow the course is to work out the details of the topics discussed in each class by yourself after the class.
There will be one discussion hour each week for clarification of doubts and practice problems. Take advantage of that.
You have to take the practice problems seriously and solve them on your own. In case you are facing difficulty, you can come and meet the instructor during the discussion hour
