Course Aims

This course includes some selected advanced topics related to nonlinear dynamics, vibration, control and associated application case studies. The course is delivered partially in a traditional lecturing mode and partially in a guided study mode, and students are required to complete a comprehensive project. The topics may include (varying with time): nonlinear modelling and analysis, nonlinear systems identification, nonlinear signal processing, nonlinear vibrations, nonlinear benefits in engineering, bio-inspired structures/mechanisms, nonlinear control by employing nonlinear benefits, advanced control methods (with examples in vehicle suspensions, UAVs, and robots), and so on. Students will also be guided to have some self-studying topics and reports/presentation or even prototypes will be produced eventually to get more in-depth understanding of engineering nonlinearities, control, and applications.
