MODELING AND SIMULATION OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

Il corso si propone di formare gli allievi ingegneri alla modellazione cinematica e dinamica dei principali sistemi meccanici e delle macchine, lo studio delle vibrazioni di sistemi ad uno o più gradi di libertà, lo studio dei sistemi meccanici robotici.

Durante il corso verranno svolte delle esercitazioni numeriche al computer.

Lezioni frontali: 42 ore

Esercitazioni numeriche: 45 ore

The exam consists of:
- the presentation of an exercise that is assigned during the academic year. This paper presented by the end of the course allows access to the oral exam;
- a written test consisting in the study of a mechanical system with the methods studied during the course;
- an oral test based on knowledge of the contents, the relevance of the answers to the questions asked, the ownership of technical language, the ability to make connections between the contents of the program.
The final evaluation will be determined taking into account the evaluation of the three tests.
