Part I: DUE: 09-06-12 in class. No homework will be accepted past the due date and
time.
(10 pts) Find an article of your choice in the IEEE/ASME Transactions of Mechatronics. Read it
and write a 1-page summary highlighting the objective, the methodology followed and the conclu-
sions. Be sure to include the complete citation (authors, volume, year, pages) in your paper.
Part II: DUE: 09-13-12 in class. No homework will be accepted past the due date and
time.
2. Figure 2 represents an ideal DC motor with torque constant driven by a voltage source
with line resistance R. The motor drives a pair of ideal gears. The large gear is connected
to a cable drum which raises a block of mass m. The block slides on guides with viscous
friction (linear, with coecient b). Obtain a bond graph representation by inspection. Assign
causality and power directions (use the thru-power convention). Label the graph completely,
showing the values of the various parameter elements (transformer moduli, resistance, etc.).
MCE403: assume that the drum has negligible inertia. MCE503: consider an inertia I3 for
the drum.
