The article provides details on a preliminary study of automatic control systems, using incomplete information (with constant parameters) about an object as well as a simplified linear model of that object. At this stage, the critique lists the capabilities of the built-in functions included in the MATLAB Control System Toolbox (CST) package. (MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computing, which integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment). Subsequent design stages specify a model, which can be used, in most cases, to detect nonlinear components. But the latter capability implies that this tool is not intended for the analysis and design stages of linear systems. Consequently, to fill this ’knowledge shortfall,’ the non-linear system-related study relies on modeling-oriented approaches. For this task, the document states that harmonic linearization of nonlinear characteristics makes it possible to apply MATLAB tools. In conclusion, the blueprint adopts the perspective of the harmonic balance approach in analyzing the nonlinear dynamic systems’ CST package.
