Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course the student is able to:

- Describe the principles of modeling and simulation and the potentials of these in system design and analysis

- Use some modeling and simulation environment/software (Matlab ja Simulink)

- Identify (analyze) dynamic structures of hydraulic systems

- Create models for static and dynamic elements (hydraulic and pneumatic components and systems) and run simulations with them

- Identify (analyze) parameter values for models from component catalogs and measurement results

- Analyze dynamic characteristics of hydraulic systems with the help of measurement data (step and frequency responses)

- Analyze the operation of hydraulic systems by modeling and simulation

- Understand the factors which affect the energy consumption of hydraulic systems and how the energy efficiency can be enhanced by changes in system parameters and architectures

- Evaluate critically the quality and deficiencies of a component or system model (i.e. validate the model using measurement data)

- Design and tune an electrohydraulic position, speed and force servo by using modeling and simulation

- Estimate the quality of an electrohydraulic position, speed and force servo by modeling and simulation

- Create well-defined and comprehensive modeling and simulation documents

- Describe the principle of real-time simulation and the special demands of it
