Q

What are the different modeling tools?

A
  • 1D/lumped parameter simulation: * Physics based: Connect
    ‘blocks’ with physically relevant quantities (SIMULINK)
  • Rigid multibody simulation:A mechanical system consists of multiple bodies connected by joints.
  • Basic geometric and inertial information is required
  • 1D tools do not handle these simulations well!

Q

The Finite Element Method in Structural Dynamics

How to begin with the FEM approach?

A

-Attention with the hooks law for linear elastic deformation.
-Equations of motion of an elastic body
-Take the PDE partial differential equations–>Equations of motion (kinematics)

21
Q

Approach of the structural dynamics in FEM

A

Mesh!: Discretization of the problem domain and selection of a trial function:Subdivision of the problem domain in non-overlapping elements with simple geometry
-Always try to simplify the geometry

22
Q

What are the resulting equations?

A

Assemble the contribution from all element
Stiffness matrix
The mass matrix
And the ressulting equations–>Equilibrium - motion - linearized

23
Q

Be aware of Convergence, what is this, when does it happens?

24
Q

What is the Multi-Point Constraints (MPC)

A

Its another kind of interface—same mesh

25
What are the limitations of the linear FEA
In linear analysis the stiffness of the system stays constant!
26
Why is the multibody simulation and why does we use them?, and what are the ingridients (RIGID)
-Interaction between various mechanicalcomponents (bodies) in a single system
27
What are the stesp for the multibody simulation (RIGID)
28
How do we describe the behavior of Rigid Bodies for simulations, what about its orientation and position? (RIGID)
First, we need to describe the kinematics and dynamics. Moreover, We need to describe the position and orientation of a body unambiguously to perform reliable analysis. Both, kinematics and dynamics are generalized In order to handle these descriptions we need to be able to work with **generalized degrees-offreedom and generalized coordinates q rather than just Cartesian coordinates x**
29
What are the considerations with FLEXIBLE BODY KINEMATICS
Describe body motion as a superposition of: * Rigid body motion * Local flexible deformation -Take only into account the most relevant deformation modes of a component and take them into account through their modal participation factors -Apply model order reduction. a large number of nodal DOF's is replaced by a set of nodes.
30
How to simulate Flexible MBS: connection points (joints)?
Use of spiders, to divide the load!!
31
# Linear model order reduction What are the different types of models and which domains?
State space model Second-order model
32
# Linear model order reduction Explain the Component mode synthesis, for wich problems is this the best mehtod ?
Attachment modes Constraint modes Inertia-relief modes Normal modes – free-free
33
# Parametric Model Order Reduction * What can the parameterization be in structures?

# What are the steps of the PMOR: affine decompositionParametric Model Ord What are the steps of the PMOR: affine decomposition
35
# Modeling the actuators How to modeling actuators? and what can you do if you are not interested in the internal or detailed behaiviour of the actuators?
Be aware, you can use electrical models or lumped models or FEM
36
# Modeling actuators What are the important aspects when modeling electrical machines?
-Frequency dependence due to skin/proximity effect -Temperature dependence of resistance -Parasitic Effects
37
# Modeling actuators What are the CONCLUSIONS ON ACTUATOR MODELLING-->Model fidelity and computational loads
̶ Finite Element Modelling/Analysis (FEM/FEA) ̶ Lumped parameter electrical/thermal models ̶ Equivalent circuits ̶ Simple saturation, rate limiter or transfer function-
38
# Modeling actuators: Power Electronics What are the attention point when modeling the power electronics?
39
# Modelling actuators: SENSORS Important points when modelling SENSORS, what should be modeled?----MAIN CONCLUCSIONS
What to model? - Noise, e.g. with white noise source - Accuracy, e.g. with normal Gauss distribution - Quantisation as consequence of ADC - Saturation / range limits
40
# Hybrid modeling What is PHYSICS BASED MODELLING modeling
Modelling using first principles and physical insights, e.g. Newton’s laws, Kirchhoff laws
41
# Hybrid modeling What is DATA DRIVEN MODELLING
Advantages - No expert knowledge required - Can handle complex phenomena Disadvantages - Often not explainable - Poor extrapolation capabilities - Requires (a lot of) data
42
# Hybrid modeling What is Hibrid Modeling
43
# Select the right virtual asset approach How to choose the best method to define the virtual asset
44
Which aspects had to be taken into consideration when choosen the virtual asset?
