Multiphysics simulation
Field of study: Mechatronics
Programme: Mechatronic systems engineering (ME8)
Semester: III,
ECTS credits: 2
Course instructor: dr hab. inż. Adam Długosz
Course description
"Coupled systems and formulations are those applicable to multiple domains and dependent
variables which usually (but not always) describe diflerent physical phenomena and
in which: (a) neither domain can be solved while separated from the other; (b) neither set of dependent variables can be explicitly eliminated at the diyerential
equation level." (Zienkiewicz O.C., Taylor R.L. The Finite Element Method, Butterworth, Oxford 2000.)
The course discusses the multiphysics problems occurring in the elements of mechatronics systems. Coupling between mechanical, electrical, thermal and fluid fields are considered. This leads to the need to discuss thermoelasticity, piezoelectricity, electrostatic-mechanical, FSI (fluid-structure interaction) problems. Proper numerical mechatronics models are considered, especially MEMS structures, where multiphysics problems occur very frequently. Laboratories concern practical use of tools dedicated for numerical simulations of selected multiphyscis problems. Proper commercial CAE systems based on finite element method are used.
