Course Overview
This course gives an introduction to physical principles and laws that are used to describe the dynamic behaviour of physical systems and introduces methods for development of mathematical models for such systems. An energy based approaches to modelling of such systems are introduced using a graphical systematic and unified method used as both an representation and as a methodology for development of consistent proper mathematical models.
Main Goal
The main goal is to learn modern techniques in modelling of mechanical, electric, hydraulic, thermal and composite systems.
Skills To Be Gained
Be able to how to utilize modern modeling and simulation software as 20-Sim and Matlab or similar for modeling, simulation and analysis of dynamic systems.
