Virtual Laboratory for Vibrations and Control Theory

This virtual lab developed in Matlab Simscape provides an innovative tool for learning and teaching fundamentals of mechanical vibrations including mass-spring-damper systems. 

Data-Driven Control: Observer Kalman Filter Identification

In this lecture, we introduce the observer Kalman filter identification (OKID) algorithm. OKID takes natural input--output data from a system and estimates the impulse response, for later...

Discrete-Time Dynamical Systems

This video shows how discrete-time dynamical systems may be induced from continuous-time systems.

Manipulating Aerodynamic Coefficients

In this video we discuss some potential problems you may encounter when attempting to perform operations with dimensionless aerodynamic coefficients such as CL and CD.
