Course contents:
THE INTERDISCIPLINARY NATURE OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS: MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS: Introduction to Mechatronic systems; summary of the system from the required movement to the end-effector; performance of industrial mechanical systems: the problem of dynamics. HOW TO REPRESENT DYNAMIC SYSTEMS: modelling mechanical systems: description of the time and frequency domains - the concept of transfer function, main features of 1st and 2nd grade systems; Matlab and Simulink for the analysis of dynamic systems; models for the analysis of flat and 3D mechanisms - kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies - multibodies. FUNCTIONAL MECHANICAL DESIGN APPLIED TO MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS: introduction to the theory of mechanisms: types of mechanism and topological characteristics; techniques for synthesis of flat mechanisms; influence of games and elasticity on mechanical system performance - rigidity and hysterisis. DIFFICULTIES AND CONTROL METHODS: introduction to controlling linear systems; linear controls - some synthesis techniques; practical examples. ACTUATORS AND SENSORS: general principles of server drives; CC and step motors - PWM techniques for controlling engine drivers - brief outline of piloting techniques in open and closed loops for engines to be used in automation; fluid actuators - main fields of application; main sensors used in industry. LABORATORY WORK: command-giving techniques for mechanical systems driven by step-step motors and with continuous-current motors; CC motors commanded using PWM, commerical piloting circuits for CC motors; brushless motors fed back in position; open-loop control with step motors, commercial piloting circuits for step motors; simulation of mechanical systems using Matlab and Simulino; COURSE PROJECT.
