Course detail

Modeling and Simulations II

FSI-RKDAcad. year: 2022/2023

The course deals with the kinematics and dynamics modeling of controlled mechatronic systems. Previous knowledge of mechanics is developed, mainly with a focus on numerical solutions to problems on computers. Mechanisms are considered rigid multi-body systems. Exercises run on computers using Matlab. The forward and inverse kinematic model is solved using analytical and numerical methods. Numerical methods are also studied from a general point of view, as a tool for solving sets of nonlinear equations and optimization tasks. The dynamic model is built using Newton's method, Lagrange equations, and automatically (Matlab/SimMechanics). Modeling of electrical and regulation structures such as submodels of complex models are also discussed.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

After the course graduation, students will be able to:
- build and solve forward and inverse kinematic model of arbitrary kinematic chain with open topology
- consider the suitability of a particular method in kinematics
- build and solve analytical dynamic models of simple mechanical systems
- be well informed about numerical modelling of complex mechatronics systems

Prerequisites

Vector algebra. Matrix algebra. Basics of kinematics and dynamics. Newton method, Lagrange equations. Basic of programming.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The evaluation is based on the standard point system 0-100b. The students can get up to 30 points for the individual semestral project and its presentation and up to 70 points for the final test. The final test consists of a theoretical test, assignments in Matlab/Simulink, and a discussion. In all cases, especially the fulfillment of functional requirements and the quality of the realization are the evaluation criteria.
