24-776 - Nonlinear Controls 12 Units The course provides an introduction to the analysis and design of nonlinear control systems. Analysis of nonlinear systems: phase plane analysis of second order systems, determination of limit cycles, describing functions, Lyapunov theory and Barbalat's Lemma, Input-Output stability. Control of nonlinear systems: design using Lyapunov theory, feedback linearization, sliding mode control, and introduction to adaptive control. The course will begin with a description of some properties of nonlinear system followed by phase plane analysis for second order systems. 4 hrs. lec. Prerequisite: 24-771.
