ELI2300 Dynamic Systems Course description

Knowledge of linear dynamic systems is important in many applications, including electronics, signal processing, communications, biomedical engineering, robotics and control systems. The course deals with analysis of linear dynamic systems in the time domain and the frequency domain. The course also is an introduction to modeling of systems as differential equations and solving them by application of the Laplace transform. The systems are analyzed by their transfer function and frequency response. The frequency response also reveals the filter characteristics of the system and how it affects the frequency content of a signal.

Emnet har 5 stp overlapp med emnet Fysikk og mekanikk (BYPE1100).

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student:

• has in-depth knowledge of the principles concerning forces and equilibrium
• has in-depth knowledge about "strength of materials", including Hookes law, beam theory and deformation and stress calculations
• has in-depth knowledge of common construction elements, including beams, columns and axial rods (trusses)

Skills

The student is capable of:

• calculating the forces in statically determinate structures
• calculating and sketching moment, shear force and axial force diagrams for beams and rods
• performing stress and strain calculations due to moments and axial force
• performing deformation calculations for simple statically determinate structures through application of linear beam theory

General competence

The student is capable of:

• performing necessary static calculations as basis for design of structures

Lectures and supervision of assigned exercises.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• 6 of 11 individual calculation exercises

Individual written 3 hours exam under supervision.

The result of the exam can be appealed.

A resit or rescheduled exam may take the form of an oral exam. If oral exams are used for resits or rescheduled exams, the exam results cannot be appealed.

Writing- and drawing material and handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Graded scale A-F.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
