| Course contents : | Computer simulation of the kinematics and dynamics of mechanical systems with flexible components : theory of rigid body kinematics (matrix formalism, methods for representation of finite rotations, computation of instantaneous positions, velocities and accelerations through incremental procedure) description of kinematic joints modeling of flexible members (beams) substructuring techniques computational methods for kinematic and dynamic analysis Application to problems from automotive design, aeronautics and space technology. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Course objective : | Introduction of the student to the modern methods of analysis and computer simulation of articulated mechanical systems , taking into account the structural deformation of the system components through finite element modelling. The proposed methodology has application in engineering offices for automotive design (e.g. power train, suspension) , airplane design (e.g. flaps, landing gears) and space technologies (e.g. deployable structures). | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Workshops : | Exercises and practical work on computer: MATLAB exercises, use of SAMCEF/MECANO software( http://www.samcef.com/en/pss.php?ID=23&W=products ). | ||||||||
