ME 466 Experimentation III (Control and Vibration)

Course Information

  • Experiments in control:

System modelling and characterization in the time and frequency domains, feedback and compensation, PID control, control of velocity and position.

  • Experiments in vibrations:

Motion measurement, force measurement, free vibration, frequency response, impact response, noise, and signal processing.
