BRIEF

Create a video on how to model and analyse a rotational mass-spring-damper system using MATLAB & Simulink. Your video should last around 10 minutes. You should assume that the audience is a 1st year Engineering student who has just arrived at Warwick.

Your video should contain :

1.   An explanation of what a rotational mass-spring-damper system is and some real-world examples (not ones from ES197 lectures);

2.   An explanation of the input-output equation for a rotational mass-spring-damper system;

3.   A tutorial on how to use both MATLAB and Simulink to model a rotational mass-spring-damper system;

4.   An explanation of what a step response is and how it can be analysed using both MATLAB and Simulink; and

5.   An explanation of what a Bode plot is and how it can be obtained using both MATLAB and Simulink

ADVANCED

If you have completed the tasks above, you may wish to also consider more complex rotational mass-

spring-damper system examples to further demonstrate your knowledge of ES197 and MATLAB/Simulink, e.g., multiple rotational masses.

SUBMISSION

You must submit this assignment using Tabula.

Please submit the following:

1.   The video in one of the following formats:

•   QuickTime Video (Mac)

•   MP4 or AVI (Windows)

2.   The MATLAB & Simulink files used to create the video.

You may need to compress all the above into a single file before submitting on Tabula.

GUIDANCE

•   By using screen capture and recording your voice, you should be able to explain how to use MATLAB using a live demo.

•   PowerPoint slides may be useful for explaining any equations or diagrams. You can switch between your MATLAB and PowerPoint applications during the video.

•   You should not need to use any cameras during production of the video - unless you want to include video of yourself presenting.

•   Some methods of screen recording to film your video:

•   Video editing software can be used if required, there are free tools/apps available to perform basic editing, e.g., iMovie (Mac) and Video Editor (Windows).

EXPECTED QUALITY

•   This assignment is not testing your video production skills, it is testing the technical skills and   knowledge gained in ES197. However, creating a good quality video should not be too difficult:

o check that the audio is loud and clear enough

o check that the visual quality is sufficient (e.g. any text can be easily read)

•   The quality of the video should be sufficient that it could be loaded onto a Moodle webpage for use by other students.

•   Do not copy slides, pictures or diagrams from ES197 lecture material.

•   Any material that you use that you have not created yourself (including diagrams/text/code) should be referenced at the end of the video.

MARKING

The marking breakdown for this assignment is:

20%   Explanation of a rotational mass-spring-damper system (including examples and equation). 40%   Understanding of how both MATLAB and Simulink models are created.

15%   Explanation of a step response and how it can be analysed using both MATLAB and Simulink. 15%   Explanation of a bode plot is and how it can be obtained using both MATLAB and Simulink.    10%   Quality of video.
