Course detail

Kinematics and Dynamics of Mechatronic Systems

FSI-RKD-AAcad. year: 2018/2019

The course deals with the kinematics and dynamics modelling of controlled mechatronic systems. Previous knowledge of mechanics is developed, mainly with focus on numerical solution of problems on computers. Mechanisms are considered as rigid multi body systems. Exercises run on computers using Matlab and Maple. Forward and inverse kinematic model is solved using analytical and numerical methods. Dynamic model is built using Newton's method, Lagrange equations and automatically (Matlab/SimMechanics). Modelling of electrical and regulation structures such as submodels of complex models are also discussed.
