Influence of Digitization in Mechatronics Education Programmes : A Case Study between Taiwan and Austria

Mario Jungwirth, Peter Hehenberger, Simon Merschak, Wei-Chen Lee, and Chen-Yu Liao

In 2020 21st International Conference on Research and Education in Mechatronics (REM) Dec 2020

Digitization has gradually emerged in the industry, research institutions, and universities to change the traditional practice. The objective of the paper is to study the influence of digitization on mechatronics education programs. One mechatronics program in Austria and one in Taiwan were compared, and the similarities and differences between the two are presented. A case study about a ducted fan system was used to illustrate how to build a digital twin demonstrator for the system and find out its remaining useful life model. The results show that the digitization started to improve mechatronics education through system simulation in both Austria and Taiwan.

Model Based Design of Inductive Components - Thermal Simulation and Parameter Determination

Simon Merschak, Mario Jungwirth, Daniel Hofinger, and Günter Ritzberger

In Computer Aided Systems Theory – EUROCAST 2019 Dec 2020

To ensure a faultless operation of an inductive component and to optimize the efficiency, the thermal behavior of the component has to be considered in an early design phase. In a previous project, a computer aided design tool for inductors was developed. In this tool thermal network models are used to calculate the thermal behavior. Therefore thermal resistance values of all winding materials are required and have to be measured. A measurement setup for the measurement of thermal resistances was developed, built and tested. In this paper the used measurement principle and the consideration of systematic measurement errors are described. A finite element method (FEM) simulation of the measurement setup is used to verify the calculation of the thermal resistance values.
