New topological approach for the modelling of mecatronic systems: application for piezoelectric structures
Keywords:
transformations, topological collections, KBR topological graph, MGS language, piezoelectric structureAbstract
In this study, a new topological approach for the modelling of mecatronic systems is presented. This approach offers the opportunity to separate the behaviour laws (physics) and the interconnection laws (topology) at local level. Then, it can be used as a unification basis for the modelling of the different fields of Mecatronics. This approach is based on the notion of topological collections and transformations and applied using the MGS language (Modelling of General Systems). The emphasis is placed on the application of this approach to the piezoelectric structures (Multi layer piezoelectric stack and piezoelectric truss structure). To validate this approach, simulation results are presented and compared with those obtained by the finite element analysis ANSYS software.
