Control-System-Analysis

This repository contains coursework for a control systems module, focusing on modeling, implementing, and analyzing a control system using MATLAB Simulink.

Overview

This coursework aims to introduce students to control systems and their analysis through a series of tasks involving modeling, implementation of controllers, and system analysis. The main objectives include:

1. Modeling the Initial System (Plant):

-Create a dynamic model of a simple vehicular system using MATLAB Simscape.
-Model a vehicle as a solid mass in an environment with gravity but without ground.
-Represent the vehicle with rigid bodies, bricks solids, joints, wheels, and axels.
-Model vehicular movement as a simple force along a prismatic joint, capturing speed as the output.

2. Adding the Controller:

-Implement and tune a PID Controller to regulate the vehicle's speed.
-Use the PID Autotuning tool in Simulink for initial tuning, followed by manual fine-tuning.
-Ensure the vehicle accelerates to the desired speed and maintains it throughout the simulation.

3. System Analysis:

-Perform an analysis of the overall system, including both the controller and plant.
-Utilize MATLAB Simulink tools to generate and interpret step response and Bode diagrams.
-Assess the stability of the system and its suitability with respect to specified requirements.
