Course description
The use of Matlab and Simulink is wide spread in the defence industry and this module gives a solid foundation to their use for engineering problems.
Upcoming start dates
Suitability - Who should attend?
This course is aimed at young engineers who are starting a career in the defence industry who will be using Matlab and Simulink. An appropriate degree in engineering or science, or relevant experience, is required.
Outcome / Qualification etc.
What you will learn
On completion of course you will be able to:
- Recognise the implications of the assumptions made in forming a model of an engineering system,
- Perform modelling and simulation studies using Matlab and Simulink,
- Judge the results of a simulation as to whether they and the model used are useful in relation to experimental results or engineering experience,
- Demonstrate an understanding of control systems and how they may be modelled and designed.
Training Course Content
Core content
- Application of Newton’s Laws of Motion to the modelling of dynamics systems and the formation of transfer function and state space models,
- Dynamic response, effect of damping, natural frequency and time constant in both the time and frequency domains,
- Concepts of control, block and simulation diagrams, introduction to control system design and performance specification,
- Introduction to Matlab and Simulink for simulating dynamic systems encountered in defence.
