ASSIGNMENT AA03 (Batch A – Instructor: Sathyan)
2. MATLAB Simscape
a. MATLAB Simscape provides libraries of components covering more than ten
different physical domains. Basic elements are provided in each domain, such as
mechanical springs, electrical resistors, hydraulic orifices, pneumatic chambers,
and fluid reservoirs. You can combine these elements to model more complex
components such as electric motors, hydraulic valves, and other components
that span multiple physical domains. Learn about the modeling capabilities in
Simscape – make use of the tutorials in Matlab website
b. Using Simscape (only) model charge-measurement using an operational
amplifier circuit. The model output should be charge vs voltage.
c. Using Simscape (only), simulate deflection measurement of a cantilever using a
strain gauge. A Wheatstone bridge needs to be used and modeled for signal
conditioning for the strain gauge output. Also, model and compensate for
ambient temperature variations. The model should generate an output graph of
beam deflection as a function of bridge voltage – show this output with and
without temperature compensation.
d. For 2b and 2c submission – print out the schematic of the model you have
developed, output graph that your model generated, and explain how you
modeled this, in your own words and handwriting.
