Modelling of Machinery Systems

FSI-ZMS-AAcad. year: 2010/2011

This subject yields theoretical and practical knowledge concerning mathematical modeling and computer simulation of mechanical systems for reasons of behavior prediction and optimization possibilities. Following themes are concerned: methods of mathematical modeling of mechanical systems, software means of computer simulation, basis of MATLAB/Simulink, examples of MATLAB/Simulink use in individual areas, characteristic of toolboxes chosen for designers, creation of mathematical and simulation models in chosen mechanical applications.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching of modeling connected with a wider use of computer.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The examination consists of two parts: an oral - theoretical part and a practical one on computer (with use of allowed utilities. Both parts of the exam must be evaluated better than by degree F to pass the exam.

Aims

Aim of this course is to make students acquainted with basic principles of mathematical modeling and computer simulation of mechanical systems – an interdisciplinary field, dealing with formulation of mathematic-physical relations, describing inner and outer behavior of such systems at their function; aside from this formulation, the further aim is to learn students to implement models practically by means of computer and to draw necessary conclusions from such simulation.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance is overseen by tutor, an active taking part in the seminar is a condition for receiving a credit.
