Course content

This course adresses advanced modelling of machinery systems and discusses the development of state space models using the bond graph methodology. The following main topics are discussed: - Multiport generalisation of basic bond graph elements - Modeling of thermofluid systems with examples from hydraulic systems, boilers, engines, compressors, gas turbines and heat exchangers. - Modeling of distributed parameter systems with examples from structural and hydraulic systems - Modeling of electrical components and systems Modeling and simulation laboratory.

Learning outcome

Having successfully completed this course the student should have: Knowledge: - knowledge in the forfront within a selection of topics in the academic field of mathematical modeling of physical systems using energy-based modeling methods and to be able to develop advanced models within both established areas and to aproach new areas. - have a deep understanding of the background for energy-based modeling methods. - have a thorough knowledge to the background of the Bond Graph method and the use of this method to formulate advanced methods in mechanical-, hydraulic-, electrical- and thermofluid systems. - know how to apply the Bond Graph method for development of distributed systems - be familiar with the state of the art of models developed using the Bond Graph method for analysis of machinery systems in general. Skills: - be able to apply energy based modeling methods and the Bond Graph method espcially to development of mathematical methods for simulaton and analysis of dynamic systems. - be able to evaluate properties of software tools relative to modeling support and also for simulation and analysis of results. - be able to apply a selection of software tools for efficient development, implementation, debugging and analysis if mathematical models. - be able to critically collect and master new knowledge available from litterature studies and scientific articles within the area. - be able to carry out peer review withing the area of research. General competence: - having established a mature and reflective view of the value of and the use of mathematical modeling as a tool for problem solving and system analysis. - be able to critically evaluate the knowledge which can be found from scientific articles and to assess the state of the art within the area.
