Experiences in Teaching Multibody Dynamics

چکیده
The use of multibody dynamics software in industrial firms is steadily increasing. Engineering curricula often do not include mandatory courses where multibody dynamics is taught. This paper, after a discussion on some teaching needs in this specific cultural area, reports on the experiences matured by the authors when introducing these courses at two Italian universities.

Multibody Free Software for Teaching Purposes
This paper presents the approach currently followed by our research team in teaching multibody dynamics to aerospace engineering students at the University “Politecnico di Milano”, Italy. The high level of complexity in multibody dynamics, both in terms of the physical phenomena that are modeled and of architecture of the numerical codes needed to solve them, makes this task extremely hard, esp...
متن کاملRPI-MATLAB-Simulator: A Tool for Efficient Research and Practical Teaching in Multibody Dynamics
We present the RPI-MATLAB-Simulator (RPIsim) as an open source tool for research and education in multibody dynamics. RPIsim is designed and organized to be extended. Its modular design allows users to edit or add new components without worrying about extra implementation details. RPIsim has two main goals: 1. Provide an intuitive and easily extendable platform for research and education in mul...
متن کاملA real-time recursive dynamic model for vehicle driving simulators
This paper presents the Real-Time Recursive Dynamics (RTRD) model that is developed for driving simulators. The model could be implemented in the Driving Simulator. The RTRD can also be used for off-line high-speed dynamics analysis, compared with commercial multibody dynamics codes, to speed up mechanical design process. An overview of RTRD is presented in the paper. Basic models for specific ...
متن کاملTeaching Kinematics and Dynamics of Multibody Mechanical System Using the Object Oriented Language Modelica
A new modeling language, called Modelica, for physical modeling is being developed in an international effort. The main objective is to make it easy to exchange models and model libraries for different domains, such as, mechanical, pneumatics, electrical, hydraulics, and others. The design approach builds on non-causal modeling with true ordinary differential and algebraic equations and the use...
متن کاملMultibody System Dynamics: Roots and Perspectives
The paper reviews the roots, the state-of-the-art and perspectives of multibody system dynamics. Some historical remarks show that multibody system dynamics is based on classical mechanics and its engineering applications ranging from mechanisms, gyroscopes, satellites and robots to biomechanics. The state-of-the-art in rigid multibody systems is presented with reference to textbooks and procee...
