Eligibility:
For single subject courses within Chalmers programmes the same eligibility requirements apply, as to the programme(s) that the course is part of.
Course specific prerequisites
Basic knowledge in automatic control, mathematical transforms, mechanics and electric circuits.
Aim
Modeling and simulation are important tools supporting engineers in the development of complex systems, from early study of the system concept (when the system possibly does not exist yet) to model-based control design and optimization of system performance. Application areas where modeling and simulation are fundamental tools are, just to mention a few, control, automotive, biomedical, mechanical, chemical engineering.
The aim of the course is to provide solid theoretical basis and practical approaches to systematically develop mathematical models of engineering systems from basic physical laws and from experimental data and to use them for simulation purposes.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
Use methods and tools to develop mathematical models of dynamical systems by using basic physical laws.Use methods and tools to develop mathematical models of dynamical systems from measurement data, including stochastic models of disturbances.Understand object-oriented modelling principles for making reusable simulation models. Critically assess model quality and simplify the model with different techniques. Use and have experienced implementation of mathematical models in computer simulation tools.Study properties of the most important numerical simulation methods.
Content
The course covers the following topics:
Physical modelling:
- Three-phase method
- Bond graphs: Analogies for electrical, mechanical and fluid dynamical systems
Object oriented modeling
System identification:
- Non-parametric methods
- Parametric methods
- Practical aspects of system identification
- Model validation
Simulations:
- Numerical methods for solving differential equationsDAE
Organisation
The course covers approximately 15 lectures, 7 problem solving sessions and a lab assignment.
