Course objectives:
The PhD Student learns the method of producing differential equations of mechatronic systems and their numerical solution techniques. 
Course content and structure:
Holonomic, non holonomic constrains, virtual displacements. Stored energies of conservative mechatronical elements, kinetic co-energy, potential energy, magnetic energy, electric energy, magnetic co-energy, electric co-energy. Virtual works of non-conservative mechatronics elements. Extended Hamilton’s principle, Lagrange equation of the second kind. Derivation of differential equations with charge and displacement formulations. Application of Laplace transformation,  obtaining transfer functions. State space equations. Numerical solution of differential equations using Euler explicit method and trapezoid implicit method.  Simulation blocks in MATLAB/SCILAB environment. Models of DC motor, electric circuits, plunger,  laud speaker, quarter car model, active suspension, PID controlling. Analysis of nonlinear problems.
Evaluation method:
Completion of a written exam: excellent (85-100%), good (73-84%), moderate (61-72%), sufficient (50-60%).
