TMMS30 Multi Body Dynamics and Robotics, 6 ECTS credits.
/Flerkroppsmekanik och robotik/

For:   M   MEC   Y  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 56
Rec. self-study hours: 104

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course aims at giving the student knowledge of computer-aided methods for mechanical analysis of multibody systems, with robot arms as an important special case. After the course the should be able to:
  • Model mechanisms using generalized, relative, absolute and natural coordinates.
  • Perform kinematic and kinetic analyses of mechanisms.
  • Implement smaller parts of solution algorithms in MATLAB.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic courses in calculus, algebra and mechanics.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Teaching is in the form of lectures, classes and computer exercises.

Course contents:
Kinematics: Overview of different types of coordinates, kinematical constraints, analysis of position, velocity and acceleration. Kinetics: Euler's method. Robotics: Serial robots, the Denavit-Hartenberg notation, kinematic analysis.

Course literature:
P. Christensen, Computational rigid body mechanics
