TRC3200 - Dynamical systems6 points, SCA Band 2, 0.125 EFTSLUndergraduate Faculty of EngineeringLeader: A NeildOffered
Clayton First semester 2008 (Day) SynopsisInstruction on the basics of dynamics of mechatronic systems, incorporating electromagnetics into advanced dynamics analysis via D'Lambert's principle, Hamiton's equations and the virtual power (Jourdain/Kane) method. Focus on applications of dynamics in mechatronics, with kinematics and dynamics of robotic structures, magnetoelectromechanical transducers (motors, speakers, vibration sensors, and so on). Consideration of the inevitable and critical consequences of nonlinearities in dynamic response, including limit cycles and Poincar maps and flows. Reinforcement of concepts using laboratory experiments and computer analysis on simple mechatronic systems. ObjectivesStudents are to gain the ability to model the dynamics of systems incorporating mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and other forms of energy storage and interaction, with consideration of the consequences of nonlinear behavior. Experimental and computational work will provide the student with a reinforced understanding of mechatronic dynamics. Assessment
