Assignment due
Week 12, autumn semester (Blackboard/online submission deadline Friday 16th December, 5pm). You may submit your work before the submission deadline (the deadline is not a target!). Do not leave it to the last minute in case you encounter any unforeseen issues. For information on what to submit see ‘Assignment briefing’ below.
Penalties for late submission
Late submission penalties will be applied according to university policy

Feedback
The aim is to provide feedback to students within two weeks from the submission deadline.
Unfair means
This is an individual assignment. Do not discuss your solutions/work with others. Submitted work must be wholly your own. Suspected unfair means will be investigated and may lead to penalties. Seehttps://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/unfair-means/indexfor guidance.
Extenuating circumstances
You must submit an extenuating circumstances form if you have any medical or special circumstances that may have affected your performance on the assignment – or to requests extension to the deadline. Seehttps://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/forms/circs for more information.
Assignment briefing
This assignment/report will assess your fundamental understanding of physical systems, including use of MATLAB/Simulink relevant to the ACS133 module. The assignment is based on the quarter car suspension model of a sports car; this case study was investigated in the lectures and laboratory sessions of the autumn semester.
Your answers must consist of the MATLAB code and Simulink model(s) used to solve
the assignment questions shown below together with any supporting output results (plots/figures etc.) and any other relevant evidence to justify your solution.
In the report you need to address the questions directly, include your working
methodology, justifications/assumptions, as well as include brief discussion of the results as appropriate.
MATLAB code must have comments that include the title, author, date, the purpose
of the code and help details as shown in the MATLAB laboratory sessions.
In doing the assignment, you should be prepared to use the MATLAB help system and
do some personal study to learn about functions or features you may need.
Read the instructions completely, from top to bottom. Do not skip anything.
Help
Assignment briefing, ACS133 course materials and MATLAB inbuilt help is all that is required. It is stressed that Google is a highly effective tool for troubleshooting MATLAB problems, it can be very useful for helping coding problems such as these. If you need clarifications on the assignment, please, get in touch with the relevant academic staff.

You must submit a report document and all your relevant MATLAB/Simulink files. Report document You must submit the completed assignment report to the ACS133 Blackboard page, via Turnitin, as a single document. You must include your University registration number at the top of every page (header). Your report should be word processed, using minimum size font 11, minimum 2.5cm margins all around, and maximum 10 pages in total. No marks will be awarded for content that exceeds 10 pages. The report should be saved as a .pdf file format. Word processing software such as google docs is recommended to produce the report. MATLAB/Simulink files In addition to the Turnitin submission, you must also submit – via email – a single zip file (*.zip, *.7z, *.rar) containing your MATLAB and SIMULINK files for the TASK 1 and TASK 4 described below. The following 5 files should be in this zip file.
to do this. Your zip file should be named using the format “ACS133_{my University registration number}.zip”. For example, in this format, the zip folder name for the student with Registration number 1111 will be “ACS133_1111.zip” . |
Important: Before emailing your files, test your zip to make sure your unzipped code works when unzipped to a clean empty folder. This is what will happen when it is marked
