AimTo write a MATLAB program to simulate the forward kinematics of a 2R Robotic Arm and create the animation of the motion. Theory A robotic arm is basically a type of mechanical arm, usually programmed as similar to that of a human arm. For such mechanisms, the links are connected by joints allowing it have…

Challenge 4, Solving second-order ODEs and animating a simple pendulum   Report: The program starts with providing input data for the simple pendulum such as damping coefficient, the mass of the ball, acceleration due to gravity and length of the pendulum. The following inputs were provided, Damping coefficient, b…

Week 4.1- Genetic Algorithm   Aim: To find the global maxima of a stalagmite function using an optimisation tool (in this case genetic algorithm)   Creating a stalagmite function. Firstly, two 1D arrays for the x and y values were created using the ‘linspace’ command with upper and lower bounds of…

Aim: To write a code in MATLAB that extracts the 14 coefficients and calculates the thermodynamic properties (enthalpy, entropy, molecular weight, and specific heats) of all the species in the data file 'NASA thermodynamic data'.  Theory: Parsing means breaking it down into component parts so that its syntax can be…

Challenge 2   Question1 The Primary circuit consists of the following blocks, Battery, switch, solver config and a solenoid. In order to create an input signal for the switch, a pulse generator was used with a time period of 4 seconds with pulse width of 50 percentage and a time delay of 2 seconds. This signal is…

Aim: To develop a forward energy-based fuel consumption model of a P1 hybrid vehicle and to quantify the improvement in fuel economy numbers, on the UDDS and HWFET cycle as compared to a conventional IC engine vehicle. The model is based on the modifications of a conventional IC engine vehicle.   Objectives: …

Air standard cycle – Otto cycle (report)   The whole program can be subdivided into 13 subcategories.   Input variables to the program: Here the input variable such as the temperature of the fluid mixture after combustion namely T3 and the gamma value for air are specified. The inputs were as follows, T3…

Week 3 Challenge, Solving second-order ODEs and animating a simple pendulum Report: The program starts with providing input data for the simple pendulum such as damping coefficient, the mass of the ball, acceleration due to gravity and length of the pendulum. The following inputs were provided, Damping coefficient, b =…

1. popt – gives the optimal coefficients of the function to be fitted to the data points. pcov – it’s a square matrix whose diagonal elements gives an idea about the dependence of the coefficients for the fitted function. Larger the values means the variation of the coefficients are larger, meaning even…

Aim : To write a Python code that extracts the data from a data file and performs data analysis, visualization, compatibility check and basic performance calculation.   Theory: Parsing means breaking it down into component parts so that its syntax can be analyzed, categorized, and understood. By doing this we are…

Aim: To write a Python macro that extracts data from a user input file and arranges the data in an ascending order based on a user input column.   Theory: Parsing means breaking it down into component parts so that its syntax can be analyzed, categorized, and understood. By doing this we are going to a string into…

Aim: To create a user-friendly sorting macro using excel VBA to edit the excel worksheet Manual sorting of excel sheets is an arduous and time-consuming task furthermore some people might not be familiar with the sorting tool in excel. In such a scenario, creating a sorting macro using VBA would save time and effort. Even…

Problem statement: To find the probability distribution of reaching 60 or greater steps at the end of 100 die throws. Game explanation: A die is thrown 100 times and steps are taken as per the following instructions The player first throws the die: If the number of eyes on the die is 1 or 2 the player should take…
