Development of an Undergraduate Systems and Control Laboratory

该项目支持发展一个本科生动力系统和控制实验室，以加强该机构机械工程系目前提供的动力学课程的顺序。该实验室由四个工作站组成，分别配备了HP 6253A双直流电源、HP 6825A直流电源/放大器、电机控制模块和数字示波器。每对工作站由数字和模拟笔式绘图仪以及与IBM PS/2-50计算机接口的Wavetek数据万用表提供服务，用于数据记录、分析和数字控制功能。该仪器允许学生对不同的系统属性进行参数量化实验，如弹簧常量、阻尼器系数以及电机的扭矩和发电机常量。这笔奖金将由受赠人支付等额的奖金。

This project supports the development of an undergraduate dynamic systems and control laboratory to enhance the sequence of dynamics courses presently offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering at this institution. The laboratory is composed of four workstations equipped with an HP 6253A dual DC power supply, Hp 6825A DC power supply/ amplifier, motor control module, and digital oscilloscope. Each pair of workstations is serviced by digital and analog pen plotters, and a Wavetek Data Multimeter interfaced to an IBM PS/2-50 computer for data logging, analysis, and digital control capability. The instrumentation allows the student to perform parameter quantification experiments on diverse system attributes such as spring constants, dashpot damping coefficients, and the torque and generator constants of electric motors. This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.
