Topic
More and more kinematic and structural modelling is needed in order to support mechatronics system architecture and design validation. The use of simulation tools supporting this activity is imposing because of its complexity. The subject of this topic is to provide an overview of the existing mechanical modelling tools and methods and implement an initial simulation, modelling the movement of a train vehicle on a modeled rail track.
Such modelling and simulation will bring insight w.r.t. the effect that certain defects have on the vibration signature of the train bogie parts:
vibration induced by wheel roundness issues
vibration induced by track problems
torsion induced by track inparallelism
The results of the simulations are of high importance in mechatronics validation engineering since such defects are hard to introduce during test cycles because of cost, safety and complexity.
This study could proceed as follows:
Study on the different modelling techniques
Evaluating the available tools and their possibilities (Matlab, Modelica,...)
