Course detail

Kinematics and Dynamics of Mechatronic Systems

FSI-RKD Acad. year: 2019/2020 Winter semester

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.

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.

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 course is evaluated on the base of active participation in exercises, theoretical and practical tests and reports from the exercises.

Aims

Students are acquainted with modern approaches to solution of kinematic and dynamic problems. The aim of the course is the control of real machines and their simulationg models. The emphasis is given on using of computers. Theoretical information is applied on particular problem solutions in the scope of semestral project.

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

Attendance at practical training is obligatory. Attendance at exercises is checked.
