Prev: System Modeling Chapter 4 - Examples Next: Dynamic Behavior
Examples-firstpage.png

In this chapter we present a collection of examples spanning many different fields of science and engineering. These examples are used throughout the text and in exercises to illustrate different concepts. First-time readers may wish to focus on only a few examples with which they have had the most prior experience or insight to understand the concepts of state, input, output, and dynamics in a familiar setting.



Additional Exercises

The following exercises cover some of the topics introduced in this chapter. Exercises marked with a * appear in the printed text.

  1. Exercise: Exploring the dynamics of a rolling mill
  2. Exercise: Popular articles about control

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Question: Can a control system include a human operator as a component?
  2. Question: How are stability, performance and robustness different?
  3. Question: How can I go from a continuous time linear ODE to a discrete time representation?
  4. Question: How can we tell from the phase plots if the system is oscillating?
  5. Question: How do you know when your model is sufficiently complex?
  6. Question: In the predator prey example, where is the fox birth rate term?
  7. Question: What is "closed form"?
  8. Question: What is a state? How does one determine what is a state and what is not?
  9. Question: What is a stochastic system?
  10. Question: What is the advantage of having a model?
  11. Question: What is the definition of a system?
  12. Question: Why does the effective service rate f(x) go to zero when x = 0 in the example on queuing systems?
  13. Question: Why isn't there a term for the rabbit death rate besides being killed by the foxes?

Errata
