Control of distributed-parameter systems
The lecture provides an introduction into the analysis, the feedforward and the feedback control design as well as the numerical simulation of distributed-parameter systems (DPS). The modeling of processes leads to a distributed-parameter description in terms of partial differential equations, whenever spatial or dispersed-phase effects have to be taken into account. Common examples include flexible structures in mechanics and mechatronics as well as diffusion-convection-reaction systems in chemical engineering.

• Modeling of DPS control processes
• Analytical and numerical solution approaches for partial differential equations
• DPS control in the frequency domain
• State-space representation, stability, controllability, observability
• Functional analytic approaches for control and observer design
• Flatness-based feedforward and feedback control design
• Backstepping and passivity-based methods

• The presentation of all courses which will be offered by the institut will take place on the 8th of October 2012, 1245am-2pm, EI8.

Oral examination Details on the oral examination will be announced during the lecture.
