Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a student's request for assistance with a mechanical engineering assessment focused on control systems. The scope includes theoretical concepts, practical applications, and specific questions related to control system design and analysis.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • The student seeks help with specific assessment questions regarding control systems, including block diagrams and control types.
  • Some participants suggest that the student should contribute their own ideas to facilitate discussion.
  • One participant recommends a textbook as a resource for understanding control systems, implying that forum discussions may not suffice for foundational knowledge.
  • Another participant points out that sharing additional materials does not address the initial requests for help.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on how to best assist the student, with some participants emphasizing the need for self-initiative and foundational reading, while others focus on the request for direct help with the assessment questions.

Contextual Notes

Participants express varying opinions on the adequacy of forum discussions for learning complex topics like control systems, highlighting the potential limitations of peer assistance in understanding foundational concepts.

Who May Find This Useful

Students in mechanical engineering or related fields seeking assistance with control systems assessments, as well as those interested in collaborative learning approaches in technical subjects.

I'm doing an assessment for a mechanical Engineering Subject that I am study for my last year of diploma and i need to get a high GPA this course so i can get into the scholarships program for the Bachelor Degree so i need to my best at this final assessment and could use all the help i can get with answer these questions .

1- Draw a general block diagram to represent any control system clearly identifying each element of the system and the names of the signals being transmitted

2- Draw a block diagram to show how directional control is achieved with a motor car.

3- With the aid of suitable examples (one in each case), explain the difference between On-Off and Continuous Control.

4- Briefly explain why the response of some control systems can be oscillatory and how this can be overcome.

5- In control system terminology, explain what is meant by the term " Offset Error" ? illustrate your answer with a suitable example .

6- How can " Offset Error" be eliminated in a control system? illustrate your answer with a suitable example .

Sure, have you got any ideas yourself to kick off with?
 
Maybe you should start here:

No one can teach you control system basics on a forum, read Feedback Control Systems (5th Edition) by Charles L Phillips. You can get a digital version on CourseSmart rather cheap.
 
this attachment show something about the subject...
please if anyone can help

Perhaps you should start by answering Studiots question and reading the indicated texts.

Posting the additional PDF doesn't change the initial responses.
