Electromechanics

Course aim

To provide an introduction to mechatronics, and develop skills in mechatronic design, including modeling, instrumenting, simulating, implementing and testing electromechanical systems.

Course content

• Introduction to mechatronics, model-based design principles and practice.
• Mathematical modeling of electromechanical systems (including sensors and actuators) in time domain and frequency domain.
• Analytical derivation of a symbolic model based on electromagnetics and mechanics.
• Empirical derivation of a numeric model based on system identification.
• Instrumentation, data acquisition, and signal conditioning, including sampling, amplification, filtering, and analog-to-digital conversion.
• Computer-based modeling and simulation of electromechanical systems using industry-standard tools.
• Case studies on some common sensors and actuators in terms of physical principles and operational characteristics.
• Integration of control, sensing and actuation in simulation and hardware implementation.
• Latest trends in mechatronics.
