This course develops and equips you with the fundamental theoretical basis for modelling and control of dynamic systems, with a focus on aerospace systems. On completion of this course, you will be able to develop models describing the behaviour of dynamic systems, critically analyse system stability and response, and design control strategies to achieve desired system behaviour. The theoretical and analytical tools are applied to analyse simple mechanical aerospace systems with multiple degrees of freedom and rigid body dynamics of fixed-wing aircraft. You will also develop theoretical tools to understand basic aircraft stability augmentation and autopilot systems.
Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level.
This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onwards. See the WAM information web page for more information.
