FRT265F, 7.5 credits

Valid from: Spring 2022
Decided by: Professor Thomas Johansson
Date of establishment: 2022-04-19

General Information

Division: Automatic Control
Course type: Third-cycle course
Teaching language: English

Aim

The aim of the course is to develop the ability to make mathematical models for a wide range of physical processes, such as, bicycles, cars, aircraft, and industrial processes. The intention is that the models will be used to develop regulators for the processes.

Goals

Knowledge and Understanding

For a passing grade the doctoral student must

• Have a broad understanding of mathematical models and how they are used to describe physical processes.
• Understand how the models can be used to develop controllers for the processes.

Competences and Skills

For a passing grade the doctoral student must

• Have the ability to make great models for a wide range of systems.
• Have good skills in using Modelica tools such as Modelon Impact and Modia.
