Modern Control Systems Test 1 -Answered
Across Variable - ANSWER-a variable that is measured across an element. Examples:
translational velocity, angular velocity, voltage, pressure, and temperature
Amplification - ANSWER-x(in) --> [ A ] --> x(out)
x(out) = Ax(in)
Analysis - ANSWER-major type of thinking that is used to provide insight and indicate
directions for imporvment
Automation - ANSWER-the control of an industrial process by automatic rather than
manual means
Buffer Amplifier - ANSWER-A utility gain buffer... --> the gain is 1
Capacitive Storage - ANSWER-C = capacitance,
M = mass,
J = moment of inertia
Closed-Loop Feedback Control System - ANSWER-utilizes a measurement of the
actual output to compare the actual output with the desired output response
Complexity of Design - ANSWER-results from the wide range tools, issues, and
knowledge to be used in the process
Control Engineering - ANSWER-based on the foundations of feedback theory and linear
system analysis, integrates the concepts of network theory and communications theory
Control System - ANSWER-an interconnection of components forming a system
configuration that will provide a desired system response
Critically Damped - ANSWER-the damping ratio is one
Design - ANSWER-the process of conceiving or inventing the forms, parts, and details
of a system to achieve a specified purpose; an innovative act whereby the engineer
creatively uses knowledge and materials to specify the shape, function, and material
content of a system
Design Gap - ANSWER-the final product does not appear as originally visualized;
intrinsic in the progression from an abstract idea to its realization
Element of a Fluid Circuit - ANSWER-fluid inertance, fluid capacitance, and fluid
resitance
Element of an Electrical Circuit - ANSWER-resistance, capacitance, and inductance
