Tesis doctoral de Oriol Gomis Bellmunt
Fast changing societies come up with new challenges that require new engineering approaches. Engineers have to face such challenges and provide novel and more efficient solutions to classical and new problems. This can be done by using different relevant advances produced in technology. Furthermore, a new way of addressing the engineering problems has to be applied, not considering only isolated engineering specialties. In this frame, we can talk about the creation of a new engineering philosophy: mechatronics. Mechatronics has been defined as the application of complex decision making to the operation of physical systems. Mechatronics has been also defined as the integration or synergy of different engineering disciplines. Such disciplines may include mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics engineering, control engineering, industrial communications and software engineering. Nevertheless, the importance of the concept does not lie only in the definition but in the philosophy behind it. It is very important to note that mechatronics is not only the sum of the results of the different disciplines, but the engineering philosophy to face engineering problems as a whole, employing the tools provided by the different disciplines. the present thesis has been divided in two parts that deal with problems of different nature. The first part is titled design rules and actuator modeling for the optimization of mechatronic systems and focuses on providing the detailed analysis of different actuators using a general procedure and oriented towards improving the actuator design. It introduces a new methodology to analyze linear electromagnetical and hydraulic actuators by modeling their maximum output mechanical quantities (force, work and stroke) as functions of the geometry and material properties and discusses the scalability (in the sense of producing the same stress and strain distribution for different sizes). The motivation to undertake such a work stem
