CMPE 242 - Applied Feedback Control - Winter 2017
Final tomorrow (21/Mar) at noon. BRING A LAPTOP w/MATLAB
Last office hours posted below.
Introduction
This course provides advances in the design of linear feedback control systems for command-following error, disturbance rejection, stability, and dynamic response specifications. We review root-locus and frequency response design (Bode) techniques, Nyquist stability criterion, and the design of dynamic compensators. Topics include state-space techniques for modeling, full-state feedback regulator design, pole placement, and observer design. Digital control (z-transform) and optimal control (LQ) are introduced. Examples are drawn from electrical, mechanical, and aeronautical applications. Computer aided design with MATLAB and SIMULINK are used to motivate the material.
Acknowledgements
I would also like to acknowledge Prof. Steve Rock of Stanford University, who teaches this material and has generously helped with the syllabus, the course material, and general inspiration. Prof. Rock combines the theory with real world stories in a way that makes controls engineering fun and completely enjoyable. I would also like to thank David Powell for his years of mentoring, and for providing discounts to his Digital Controls book.
Index of class resources
- General Class Information class and section times, instructor and TA information
- Lecture Video Video files of the lectures, and download information for the right codec.
- Handouts homework problem sets, homework solutions, other helpful handouts.
- Piazza - for announcements, general discussion, and help.
Piazza
We'll be conducting all class-related discussion on Piazza this term (rather than the web forum).
The quicker you begin asking questions on Piazza (rather than via emails),
the quicker you'll benefit from the collective knowledge of your classmates and instructors.
We encourage you to ask questions when you're struggling to understand a concept.

Lecture Videos
The technology to record these videos is supported by a grant from
the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), and it is an experiment. Feedback
as to the utility, and the usability of these videos would be highly
appreciated. The basic hardware required is a tablet PC with a digitizer
(waacom) pen, and a standard headset to capture the lecturer's voice.
Additionally, a program called Camtasia is used to capture the
entire sequence into a standard movie format that can then be viewed
at a later time for review and additional study.
You may view these lectures at any time, but do not distribute them
beyond the UCSC environment. These lectures have been created using
the Camtasia
software, and can be played through
VLC which is cross-platform. Or any other video player of your choice.

Homework
Homeworks are handed out in class, and are due back electronically at 11:59PM on the due date. You will be emailing a scanned version of your homeworks to the grader, and are allowed a total of 72 hours of grace time on the homeworks to be late. Homeworks turned in late will be receive half the total points once the solution set has been posted. Cooperation and collaboration on the homeworks is encouraged, but this is NOT licence to copy. The work you turn in should be your own.
Homeworks are where you actually learn the material. It is very important to start the homework early and work steadily through. This will greatly improve your understanding. To submit your homework elctronically, follow the instructions here.

Exams
Final scheduled for 21-Mar-2017 from noon - 3:00 PM, in class, bring laptops with MATLAB.
Class Presentation Slides
The class lectures use the digital ink capabilities of the TabletPC. The ink is saved back into the presentation, and the presentation is saved to the website for convenience. This year we are using Classroom Presenter 3 as it has several nice utilities for the TabletPC. The presentation files are in .PDF format.
