Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Mechatronic System Design – Readings

Course subject(s) 1. & 2. Introduction and Signals 3. Electromagnetic Actuators 4. Dynamics of Motion Systems 5. Motion Control 6. Power Electronics

The book that is used for this course is: “The design of high performance mechatronics” and it is used throughout three interconnected courses. Physics for mechanical Engineers (ME1611), Measurement in Engineering (WB2303) and Mechatronic System design (WB2414).

It is highly recommended to buy this book as it will proof to be useful also later in the career of any engineer.

Chapters

The following chapters/sections from the book are to be mastered for this course:

  • Chapter 2, Electricity and frequency: All
  • Chapter 3, Dynamics: All
  • Chapter 4, Motion Control: Up to and incl. full section 4.3
  • Chapter 5, Electromechanic actuators: Only basic understanding of two electromagnetic actuator types (Lorentz, Reluctance, incl hybrid)
  • Chapter 6, Electronics: Basic understanding of operational amplifiers, linear and switched mode power amplifiers.

Erreta

Since the book is in its second edition there are still a few mistakes present in the book. These mistakes are pointed out in the errata. The erreta can be found at the website rmsacoustics.nl.
