Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A control engineer needs to design a control system for an aerospace application. The parameters of the system change significantly during flight due to varying loads and speeds. Is this a time-invariant or time-variant system? Justify your answer.

💡 Hint: Focus on how external factors influence system behavior.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a manufacturing process controlled by PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). How might time-variant behavior arise in this context, and what adaptive strategies could be employed?

💡 Hint: Think about factors that influence the manufacturing process over time.
