Abstract

The overall objective of this project is to develop human skills concerning modeling and simulation of dynamics of mechanisms. However, the application of scientific methodologies for verification and validation of models will receive a special attention in this project. The models to be exploited regards a few classical mechanisms whose dynamical behaviour is described by systems of linear/nonlinear differential equations exhibiting or not competition between two or more attractors.
