Introduction to Modelling of Dynamic Systems
This course teaches the fundamentals of dynamic systems modelling and simulation. You will learn how to: - Define and classify static and dynamic systems by their mathematical models - Use differential equations, transfer functions, and state-space models to describe the behavior of dynamic systems - Analyze the stability, controllability, and observability of dynamic systems - Model and simulate translational, rotational, electrical, electromechanical, hydraulic, and thermal systems - Draw analogies between different types of systems and exploit their similarities - Use popular software tools such as MATLAB/SIMULINK to implement and test your models By the end of the course, you will have a solid foundation in dynamic systems modelling and simulation, and you will be able to apply it to your own projects and interests. You will also gain a valuable skill that is in high demand in many industries and disciplines, such as: - Engineering: design, control, and optimization of dynamic systems such as robots, vehicles, machines, power systems, etc. - Science: understanding and prediction of natural phenomena such as population dynamics, climate change, epidemics, etc. - Economics: modelling and analysis of economic systems such as markets, supply chains, production, consumption, etc. - Policy: evaluation and improvement of policy actions and interventions in complex social systems such as health, education, environment, etc. Whether you are a student, a professional, or a hobbyist, this course will help you master the art and science of dynamic systems modelling and simulation, and open up new possibilities for your learning and career. Once enrolled, you have access to dynamic video lessons, interactive quizzes, and live chat support for an immersive learning experience. You engage with clear video explanations, test your understanding with instant-feedback quizzes and interact with our expert instructor and peers in the chat room. Join a supportive learning community to exchange ideas, ask questions, and collaborate with peers as you master the material, by enrolling right away.
