Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
To build, by using the proper numerical tools, the model of an active mechanical system, including either the dynamic behaviour of the mechanical system and the inner dynamics of the actuators, sensors and controllers.
To export, the uncontrolled model to an environment usual to control engineers (Matlab for instance), so as to perform the control design and, in turn, integrate it in the intital model to assess the performances of the controlled system.
Generally speaking, to exploit the simulation results from the point of view of mechanical design.
To improve the practical knowledge of the English language (course, notes and reports in English).
Content of UE
Numerical construction of the differential equations of motion of a mechanical system.
Behavioral equations of some usual actuators: DC motor, voice coil, piezoelectric material and hydraulic jack.
Coupling between the mechanical system and the actuators.
Time-domain model of linear controllers and equations of the controlled system.
Numerical integration methods: principles, properties and limitations.
Introduction to robotics.
Multiphysics formulations (Electro-mechanical Lagrangian, Modelica,...)
Practicals: simulation of systems (EasyDyn, Simulink).
Prior Experience
Kinematics and dynamics of mechanical systems, electricity (Kirchoff's laws), numerical analysis (integration, algebra) , Laplace transform, PID control.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q1
Q1 UE Assessment Comments
Not applicable
Type of Assessment for UE in Q2
Q2 UE Assessment Comments
Practicals reports: 20% of the mark.
Oral examination: 80% of the mark, distributed 50-50 on 2 questions
- a question about theory on material presented during the course (for this part, the students are allowed to read their course notes during 10 minutes, after having received the question, but without writing anything) ;
- practical exercize consisting in simulating on computer a simple physical system, with the help of the tools learned during the workshops.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q3
Q3 UE Assessment Comments
Idem 1st session for the oral examination.
The mark related to the practicals is automatically carried over, unless the student refuses it, in which case the oral examination is worth 100 % of the mark.
Q1 UE Resit Assessment Comments (BAB1)
