Overview

Instruction 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).

Instruction 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 computer analysis on simple mechatronic systems.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to:

Determine dynamic trajectories using kinematic approaches.

Analyse the behaviour of a dynamic system using computational methods.

Appraise the available mathematical approaches to model dynamic systems.

Determine the equations of motion of a dynamic system using a range of fundamental approaches.

Assessment summary

Continuous assessment: 40%

Final assessment: 60%

This unit contains a hurdle requirement that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.

Assessment

1 - Computational continual assessment

2 - Mid-semester assessment 1

3 - Software class assignment

4 - Mid-semester assessment 2

5 - Final assessment

Workload requirements

Workload

The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
