Contents

Teamwork in an international student group. All teaching topics below presented in the context of a tail lift.

Modeling of tail lift systems and describing the used mechanisms and their kinematics. Modeling the tail lift motion and control & simulation of these multi-body systems. Theoretical approach (equations) with support of Matlab. Analysing tail lift mechanics and system behaviour using MatLab Simulink.

Basics of hydraulics (terminology, basic laws and dimensioning formulas). Hydraulic circuits; creating and simulating circuits with FluidSim. Hydraulic components; cylinders, valves (mainly directional) and pumps

Lessons on machining technology and planning of machining tasks with a focus on the use of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Process planning and process analysis using CAM technology. Process times and make a cost estimate. CAM tools of a design software SolidWorks.
