Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
- To understand the fundamentals of computer-aided simulation of mechanical systems (conceptual definition of the system, construction and integration of the equations of motion, equations of specific force elements) so as to induce a deliberate usage and to avoid the pitfalls (for that purpose, the workshops combine a home made tool requiring a theoretical knowledge and a black box commercial software);
- to illustrate how a simulation tool, when used carefully, can help the engineer in his design process (force determination for dimensioning, assessment of dynamic performances of machines, stability analysis,...);
- to improve the practical knowledge of the English language (course, notes and reports in English).
Content of UE
Mathematical tools: localization in space, vectors, homogeneous transformation matrices, rotation tensors.
Elements of a mechanical system: bodies, joints, force elements.
Kinematic analysis: degrees of freedom, configuration parameters, velocities, accelerations, kinematic matrices.
Numerical construction of equations of motion (minimal and Cartesian coordinates).
Numerical integration: ODE, DAE, accuracy, stability.
Other numerical problems: static analysis, assembly, eigen analysis
Applications: vehicles on tires or rails, contact with friction
Prior Experience
Geometry. Theoretical mechanics. Numerical analysis.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q2
Q2 UE Assessment Comments
The evaluation is based on the laboratory (reports and participation) and the oral examination. During the oral examination, the students first receive a theory question to which they answer in a synthetic way on paper. They then give back their answer sheet and receive a practical problem to solve on a computer with the help of the EasyDyn framework. They are then called successively to present orally the answer to the theory question.
Maximal duration: 4 hours.
The mark is distributed in this way - Theory question of the oral examination: 40 %. - Application question of the oral examination: 40 %. - Workshops : 20 %
Type of Assessment for UE in Q3
Q3 UE Assessment Comments
Idem 1st session for the oral examination. The mark related to the workshops is automatically carried over, unless the student refuses it, in which case the oral examination is worth 100 % of the mark.
