No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1971–72 to 1971–72 (before that, 1970–71 used the number for Instrumentation for Fluid Control Systems); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The topological approach: Phase trajectories and singular points. Relay operated servomechanisms and optimum switching. Limit cyles and the jump phenomena. Exact and asymptotic methods. The point transformation. The Kryloff and Bogoliuboff method of autonomous and non-autonomous systems. The Ritz, average method and harmonic balance. Duffing’s interaction and Poincare perturbation. The describing function and compensation techniques as applied to fluid systems. The dual in-put describing function. Liapunov and Mathieu stability criteria. Applications to fluid power, mechanical and management control systems. Department of Mechanical Engineering
