Lec 1

This document provides an introduction to mechatronics system design. It defines mechatronics as a methodology for optimal electromechanical product design using a concurrent multi-disciplinary approach. Key elements of mechatronics systems include physical plants, controllers, actuators, and feedback sensors. When designing systems, four main questions must be addressed: system dynamics, component selection, sizing components, and accuracy/resolution requirements. User requirement specifications and a typical design process are also outlined. The document concludes with requirements for a term project to design a mechatronics system to solve a technical problem.

What is Mechatronics?
What is Mechatronics?
• Mechatronics is a methodology used for the optimal design of
electromechanical products.
• A methodology is a collection of practices, procedures, and rules used by
those who work in a particular branch of knowledge or discipline.
• The mechatronic design methodology is based on a concurrent (instead of
sequential) approach to discipline design, resulting in products with more
synergy.
• Mechatronics System: is the system that results from the simultaneous
application of electronics, electrical, control, and computer engineering in
the design of the mechanical system in a synergetic way.

The Four Questions in Mechatronics Systems

1. Are the system dynamics important?


You have to make the plant model, identify the user requirements
specifications, and choose the appropriate controller according to the
system dynamics.
The plant model might be a transfer function or a state space
model.[Difference?]
Sometimes the system dynamics needs critical design, such as quadcopter,
helicopter, space vehicle, and vehicle active suspension system.
Sometimes the system dynamic doesn’t need critical design, such as
simple heater, simple water level tank system, and solar tracker system.
The Four Questions in Mechatronics Systems(cont.)
2. How to select the system components?
 Control Algorithm
 Physical Controller
 Actuator Systems
 Feedback System (Sensors and Transducer)

3. Selecting the size of the components?


Depends on the system environment.

4. System Accuracy, Resolution, and Precision?


• Accuracy: is the system ability to
eliminate the systematic error.
• Precision : is the system ability to
eliminate the random error.

• Resolution: is the minimum input that cause change in the output.


User Requirement Specifications
1. Capacity/Force/Torque/Stroke.
2. Safety/Reliability/Maintainability/Availability.(not only just functional)
3. System dynamics (e.g. rise time; overshoot; settling time).
4. Resolution/Accuracy/Precision.
5. User Friendliness.
6. Energy Consumption.
7. Cost (Capital cost/Running cost)
8. Space/Size/Weight
9. Environment
10. Versatility
Mechatronics System Design Steps
1. Identify the problem
2. Identify the user requirement specifications
3. Select a process (plant) as the system to be developed
4. Indicate the system dynamics
5. Select the appropriate actuator system
6. Select the appropriate feedback system (sensor and transducer)
7. Mention the needed types of signal modification and interfacing
hardware
8. Select the controlling system
9. Verify and test the system performance
Term Project Requirements

Choose a technical problem then design a mechatronics system to


solve it by applying the mechatronics design methodology and
achieve the following requirements:

• Concept Design and User Requirements


• Actuator Selection and Mechanical Design
• Feedback Devices and Flowchart
• Controller Selection
• Modeling and Simulation
• Apply the Engineering Project Management Life Cycle Principles
(Tools and Techniques)
