Dynamic Systems and Control Engineering

Now that we are acquainted with both mechanical and electrical systems, we would like to connect these two physical domains so that we are able to model, analyze, and design electromechanical systems. Such systems include many important sensors, actuators, and devices including motors, generators, loudspeakers, accelerometers, industrial machinery, vehicle subsystems, and more. Thus, following our earlier discussions, we will begin by reviewing the fundamental physical effects that are leveraged in these devices, and work toward extending our mechanical modeling approach to this class of multi-physics problems.
