ME457: Mechatronic System Modeling and Simulation: Prof. R. C. Rosenberg

This document provides an overview of the ME457 Mechatronic System Modeling course at Michigan State University. It defines key concepts like math-based modeling, simulation, and mechatronic systems. Math-based modeling involves precise descriptions of system components and connections using methods like equations and tables. Simulation exercises these models to compute and predict behavior. Mechatronic systems integrate mechanical, electrical, control, and computer systems, with modeling considering energy transfer between components using methods from various engineering domains.

Math-based engineering (MBE) is
becoming increasingly important in
industry.
What are the drivers for this trend?

Why is math-based modeling


important to industry?
• Increased complexity of components and
systems
• Need for higher reliability means need for
more testing
• Need for faster design of new products
• Better integration can be achieved
between design and manufacturing
planning

What does “math-based


modeling” mean?
• Precise description of components and
their interconnections (preferably in a
form that is computable)
– Schematics and idealized elements
– Mathematical graphs
– Equations
– Tables of performance data
– Computer programs

What does “simulation” mean in


a mbe environment?
Exercising a math model by computing its
behavior (not necessarily its formal
solution)
Software is involved (e.g., MATLAB).
Models are constrained by software
characteristics.
Software predictions are constrained by
implementation of algorithms and by their
application.
Validation is still required at some level.

What are “mechatronic systems”?


 Mechatronics: combination of
mechanical and electronic subsystems
(Japan, late 1960s)
 Has evolved to mean inclusion of
intelligence to get “smart” products
 Major components to be integrated:
o Mechanical stuff (solids and fluids)
o Electrical/electronic stuff (circuits, sensors
and actuators)
o Control stuff (feedback action)
o Computer stuff (intelligent decision-making)

What are “mechatronic systems”?


(cont.)
 Systems involve structural ideas:
• Inputs and outputs
• Connections among model components
• Hierarchical arrangement (subassemblies)
• Various internal models possible as long as
I/O description is maintained

Mechatronics modeling
Energy is a guiding principle for getting
physics into mathematical form.
• Energy has various forms
• Time-rate of energy transfer is power
• Signals denote transfer at very low energy
levels (called information transfer)
• Individual components have ports for
interacting (power and/or signal types)
• Components are connected between pairs of
ports by power bonds or signals
• Transducer devices convert between energy
forms
