Continuous-time linear dynamical systems. Input-output and input-state-output realisations. Natural response: state transition matrix, natural modes. Asymptotic stability. Forced response: impulse response, transfer function. Relation between poles and eigenvalues. Transient and Steady state response. Frequency response. Feedback systems.
Closed loop systems: examples, structure and main properties. System types and steady state error. Disturbance rejection: constant and sinusoidal signals. Specifications; steady-state and transient; frequency domain characterisation. Loop shaping in frequency domain: choice of the elementary functions. Loop shaping in time domain: controllable and observable system; rank test; eigenvalue assignment via state feedback; observability and observer design. PID
Examples of control systems applied to off-shore platforms. Controller design and system simulation via MATLAB/Control System Toolbox e Simulink.
