Please note that choice of projects are first come first served basis.

 

Project Information:  

You will be expected to work as a part of a team of 4.  We have 48 students in the class-therefore there should be 12 projects (12x4).  PLEASE SEND ME THE NAMES OF THE 4 STUDENTS and YOUR TOP 3 PROJECTS IN CASE YOU ARE CLOSED OUT OF THE ONE YOU WANT

 

You will be expected to produce and turn in a project report by Nov. 29 in a form similar to your lab reports.  The report will include:

 

·         An introduction detailing what you are planning to model, who your team members are and what they have contributed to the project;

·         Modeling section in which you give the system you are investigating and the modeling of your system, and the assumptions you are making.  You will show the elemental equations, nodal equations, path (loop) equations, the state variables, sources, and the state variable equations and the matrix form of those equations. You will be expected to explain the expressions for the constants you use in your elemental equations—this should come from the simplifying assumptions you make.

·         A results section in which you detail the numerical equations you will be using to solve the problem, the parameters you will be using in your equations and where those parameters have been obtained, the graphs of the state variables as a function of time, the outputs you want to find as a function of time;

·         and finally a Discussion of your results. Also discuss the step-size you use and its effect on the accuracy of the results

·         What have you learned from the project and what would you suggest for future work to understand the results more fully.

 

You will need to vary at least 3 parameters to see the effect of parameter variation on your solutions.  Your discussion section should be in depth—how each parameter change affects the overall results.  All graphs should be properly labeled (units, what are the parameters tested).

 

 

Additional to the parameter variations above, you will be expected to vary the source variables.

 

In all your projects you probably have one source (maybe more).  Please take one of the sources in the form A + B sin(omega*t) where A is the amplitude of the source strength and B is the variation in the source strength and omega is the frequency of the variation.  Please vary at least two of these variables; for instance you can take B as being 0.1 A, 0.3 A; or omega as being some value between 0.5 pi to  2 pi.

 

 

PROJECTS ARE DUE TO MY OFFICE (EC3442) BY Nov. 29 by 3pm.   YOU MUST GIVE ME THE PROJECTS, NOT SLIDE THEM UNDER MY DOOR.  ITEMS SLID UNDER MY DOOR WILL NOT BE EVALUATED AND THE TEAM THAT DOES WILL GET A ZERO; SO PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.

 

 

Please note that our first quiz will be on Wednesday, October 10 and will cover the similarities and differences between systems we have discussed.  The first quiz will test you: regarding thru, across variables, integrated thru and integrated across variables, energy expressions for the different types of systems we have discussed (linear mechanical, rotational mechanical, electrical, fluid and thermal).

                                                                                                                                 

You will not be allowed any aids.  The quiz will require you to remember things like definitions of transformers and transducers and the difference between a regular transducer and a gyrating transducer, major differences between thermal systems and the other systems.

 

 

Please note that the first exam will be on October 25.  In the exam you will be given a system and you will be asked to derive the elemental equations (including transformer/transducer equations if any), the node equations (continuity), the path equations (loop, compatibility), and also some if not all the state equations (which will be covered shortly after system graphs are completed).  Formula sheets will be allowed and will be discussed as we get closer to the exam date.

Please do problems 4.1, 4.2, 4.5 and 4.11 in your system dynamics books.

 

 

Here is the material that goes with Lecture 12 video: page 54, These are the solution to page 54 top and bottom problems page 55, page 56.  We also cover page 57, page 58,

 

 

We now begin talking about state equations.

 

 

I AM INCLUDING HERE TWO PDF FILES THAT MIGHT HELP YOU: ONE IS ON LINEAR GRAPHS AND ONE IS ON STATE EQUATIONS.  THESE DOCUMENTS ARE THE PRECURSOR DOCUMENTS THAT LED TO THE BOOK SYSTEM DYNAMICS, AN INTRODUCTION, BY ROWELL AND WORMLEY. You can find more examples for deriving state equations.  Please note that the figure numbers used in the file can be found at the end of the file.

 

 

You are also suggested to develop the state equations for three problems -- the two problems we did (given on page 54, 55 and 56 of the notes on the website) and problem 6.15 in your book.

 

 

We now begin talking about state equation solutions. This solution methodology depends on understanding matrices.  For those who need a review of matrices, here it is.

 

 

Here is the material that goes with Lecture 13 video: discussed state variables and how to get the state variable equations and how to solve state variable equations- page 57, page 58, page 59, page 60,

 

 

As a review of system graph and state equation derivations we look at this problem.  We also show the state equation solution which is given in the top half of the page. 

 

 

Here is the material that goes with Lecture 14 video:   We discuss the following system including getting the system graph. We also show the state equation solution which is given in the bottom half of the page.  We have given a handout for the system graph for a fluid system connected to a piston/spring.  We will derive the state equations.  Also, prob. 7.29 on that sheet will be discussed and one of the state equations will be derived but you are to derive the remaining state equations.

The first exam date was announced as 10/25 in which you will be given a system and you will be asked to derive the elemental equations (including transformer/transducer equations if any), the node equations (continuity), the path equations (loop, compatibility), and also some if not all the state equations.  Formula sheets allowed will be discussed as we get closer to the exam date.

 

 

HERE are the solutions to PROBLEMS 4.2, 4.3, 4.6d and 4.11d

 

 

Here is the material that goes with Lecture 14-15 video:   Halfway through the video we start discussing the numerical solution of the state variable differential equations given in page 61, page 62.  This material will NOT be part of the first exam but may be part of the second exam.

 

 

We continue our discussion of numerical solutions of the state equations in Lecture 16. The rest of the numerical solution of sets of first order differential equations will be discussed.  A handout will be given in class on the Runge-Kutta method.  The handout is from Applied Numerical Methods by James, Wilford and Smith, pages 339-345 and 351-353.  We will look at several examples and how they could be used in the different numerical methods discussed, namely: Euler, Modified Euler, Runge-Kutta Second Order method, Runge-Kutta Fourth Order Method

 

 

We continue our discussion of numerical solutions of the state equations in Lecture 17.  We will work on several problems (4th order and 2nd order RK methods). 

 

 

Please note that the first exam will be on October 25.  In the exam you will be given a system and you will be asked to derive the elemental equations (including transformer/transducer equations if any), the node equations (continuity), the path equations (loop, compatibility), and also some if not all the state equations (which will be covered shortly after system graphs are completed).  Formula sheets will be allowed and will be discussed as we get closer to the exam date.

Lecture 19: 2nd examination on system graphs.  We continue with the vibration of undamped SDOF systems

 

 

Here is Lecture 20 video: equivalent springs both linear and rotational, springs in parallel and series

 

 

Please start reading the first and second section-Chapter 1 and 2 materials from the materials obtained from the office manager (EC3475).  I will be assigning examples out of those materials.  So it would be to your benefit to come pick up the copies for your group.

 

Out of the photocopies of the first two selections do the following:   Problems 1.7 to 1.10, 1.13, 1.16, 1.19, 1.22, 1.26, 1.27, 1.29, 1.31, 1.32, and 1.36.  Solutions will be posted in a week’s time.

 

 

Please make sure that you have the following information about second order systems, namely:

 

  where g is the acceleration of gravity and Dst is the static displacement of the system; that is, weight of the system = k*Dst.  

 

Please use the Greek capital letter D  for the static displacement instead of the normal d, as the letter d is to be used for the logarithmic decrement, and they should not be confused.

 

And for systems with damping included: =2ςωn  and  and Ccrit=2√mk =2mωn  =2k/ωn

 

 

Lecture 21: 2nd examination is announced for Nov 8 and will be on numerical methods.  It will cover the numerical solution of state equations.  You will be allowed pens, pencils, straight edge, erasers and your calculator.  You will be allowed three 8.5 x 11 formula sheets.  Please ensure your formula sheets include the formulas for the Euler, Modified Euler, Runge Kutta 2nd order, Runge Kutta 2nd order Midpoint, 4th order Runge Kutta and how to handle numerically the solution of more than one state variable equation.  Any solutions found on your formula sheets will have the formula sheet confiscated.

Here is Lecture 22 video: equivalent springs and masses using equivalent potential and kinetic energies

 

 

Please review the videos for Lessons 18, 20, 22 as we will be doing similar type problems for you to understand the method of solution.

 

 

Here is Lecture 23 video: we look at damped systems, derive equations and talk about overdamped, critically damped and underdamped systems

 

Please note that for underdamped systems: the logarithmic decrement, δ, equals  where ζ is the damping ratio, C/Crit.

 

Also we show that δ = (1/N) * ln(xo/xN) = (1/N) * ln(xi/xi+N)

 

where N = the number of cycles between the first and last measurement.  x here is the displacement and the subscript “o” means the first measurement value.  The formula also applies between any N cycles, meaning starting from cycle i and going to cycle i+N.

 

We will discuss the forced vibration of systems and cover the topic of resonance.

 

 

Here are solutions to some of the problems… problems 1-7 and 1-8, 1-9 and 1-10

Here are solutions for problems  1-13a and 1-13b, 1-29, 1-30, 1-35 and 1-35b

 

 

Here is Lecture 24 video: we look at underdamped systems, derived logarithmic decrement and talk about two problems.

 

 

Look at Problems 2.1-2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.17 to 2.19, 2.28, 2.38, 2.45, 2.52, 2.60, 2.80, 2.82, 2.83, and 2.97 in the handouts obtained from the department. 

 

 

The third exam is announced for Nov. 21.  You will be allowed 3 8.5 x11 sheets of formulas.  The topic of the exam includes: vibrations of undamped SDOF system; how to determine k equivalent (look at the Cochin handout) and equivalent masses based on where they are placed using equivalent energies; damped vibration systems with coulomb or viscous damping;  systems that are overdamped, critically damped and underdamped. Be able to derive equations of motion.

And for systems with damping included: =2ςωn  and  and Ccrit=2√mk =2mωn  =2k/ωn

 

Please note that for underdamped systems: the logarithmic decrement, δ, equals  ,

where ζ is the damping ratio, C/Ccrit.  Also ζ=δ / sqrt(22), which for z <0.3 can be approximated by

 

Also δ = (1/N) * ln(xo/xN) = (1/N) * ln(xi/xi+N)

 

where N = the number of cycles between the first and the N+1st measurement.  Here x is the displacement and the subscript “o” means the initial measurement value.  The formula also applies between any N cycles; meaning, starting from cycle i and going to cycle i+N.

 

 

Please make sure you review the videos for Lessons 18-24 as they cover the materials for this last exam.

 

 

We will discuss the forced vibration of systems and cover the topic of resonance.

 

 

Here are solutions for problems similar to 2-4, 2-6 and 2-7 in the vibrations handout obtained from the department office manager.  Problem 2-7 requires moving the springs to the location of the mass. 

Here are problems 2-17, 2-18, 2-19.  In problem 2-17 both springs see the same displacement.  For 2-18 use the equivalent k for extension of a wire.

Here are problems like 2-28, 2-38

Here is the rest of 2-38, and problems 2-68, 2-79

Here is problem 2-45

Here is problem 2-60

Here, the second problem is like problem 2.80.  Note, overshoot represents the maximum displacement above the x=0 line, i.e., when the velocity=0. 

Here are problems the first two are like 2.83, 2.97
