Course

Modelling and simulation of mechanical systems

Università di Napoli Federico II

The "Modelling and simulation of mechanical systems" course at Università di Napoli Federico II offers a deep dive into the principles and methodologies of transforming mechanical systems into mechatronic systems using virtual models. The course focuses on modern mechatronic systems integrated with sensors and actuators in robotics, controlled electro-hydraulic actuators, and smart devices. Throughout the course, students will learn to schematize real systems, mathematically model multi-physics systems, and develop Matlab/Simulink models.

The course is divided into three modules, each delving into specific aspects of mechatronic systems:

  • Module 1: Computer vision for the control of mechanical systems
  • Module 2: Modelling, control and simulation of electro-hydraulic shake tables
  • Module 3: Design and development of a smart tyre

By the end of the course, students will have gained a strong foundation in mechatronic systems, enhancing their ability to model and simulate modern mechanical systems effectively.

Course Modules

The course modules cover computer vision for mechanical systems control, modelling and simulation of electro-hydraulic shake tables, and design and development of smart tires, offering a comprehensive understanding of mechatronic systems and their applications.

Computer vision for the control of mechanical systems

Module 1 of the course focuses on computer vision for the control of mechanical systems. Students will explore artificial vision systems, vision system models, applications for motion measurement, and practical challenges related to this field. By the end of the module, students will have gained a strong understanding of computer vision applications in mechatronic systems.

Modelling, control and simulation of electro-hydraulic shake tables

Module 2 delves into the modelling, control, and simulation of electro-hydraulic shake tables. Students will learn about electro-hydraulic systems, modelling and control of real electro-hydraulic actuation systems, simulation in Matlab/Simulink, and the analysis of experimental data acquired on a real shake-table. Practical exercises and challenges will enhance students' skills in this area.

Design and development of a smart tyre

In Module 3, students will focus on the design and development of smart tires. This module covers smart tire systems, analytical modelling of smart tires through the modal expansion method, simulation in Matlab of the smart tire strain behavior, and the analysis of experimental strain data acquired on a real smart tire. Practical exercises and challenges will enable students to develop a comprehensive understanding of smart tire technology.
