Program Description

Modeling and simulation techniques are essential tools for dynamic systems design and production. This seminar introduces an overview of common mathematical modeling techniques in t-domain and s-domain, various types of physical systems, and challenges of modeling them. 

This 27-hour (5-day) seminar adopts lumped modeling technique, using Matlab-Simulink, to model discrete hydraulic components with the least amount of design parameters, just based on the static and dynamic characteristics published by the component manufacturer. Components models can be recharacterized and used repeatedly in system models. More than 60 models are built. The seminar provides comprehensive explanation on how these models are structured, validated, and used for analyzing system performance. 


Who Should Attend 


Upon successful completion, you will be able to:

  • Identify the best method to convert the published static and dynamic characteristics of a hydraulic components into a solvable mathematical model
  • Convert the mathematical model into a simulation model using MATLAB®/Simulink®
  • Debug and validate a simulation model based on existing or experimentally developed performance
  • Form a hydraulic system model by assembling hydraulic components models
  • Use a validated model to analyzes system performance
