Mathematical Models
Design of engineering systems by trying and error versus design by using mathematical models. Physical laws such as Newtons second law of motion is a mathematical model. Mathematical model gives the mathematical relationships relating the output of a system to its input.
Mathematical Models
Control systems give desired output by controlling the input. Therefore control systems and mathematical modeling are inter-linked.
Mechanical Systems
If the velocity and acceleration of a body are both zero then the body will be Static. If the applied forces are balanced, and cancel each other out, the body will not accelerate. If the forces are unbalanced then the body will accelerate and the body will be Dynamic. If all of the forces act through the center of mass then the body will only translate- Translation Forces that do not act through the center of mass will also cause rotation to occur- Rotation

Inertia
When unbalanced torques are applied to a mass it will begin to accelerate, in rotation, the sum of applied torques is equal to the inertia forces
The mass moment of inertia will be used when dealing with acceleration of a mass. The area moment of inertia is used for torsional springs 37
Inertia
The center of rotation for free body rotation will be the centroid. Moment of inertia values are typically calculated about the centroid. If the object is constrained to rotate about some point, other than the centroid, the moment of inertia value must be recalculated. The parallel axis theorem provides the method to shift a moment of inertia from a centroid to an arbitrary center of rotation
38
Springs
Twisting a rotational spring will produce an opposing torque. This torque increases as the deformation increases. The angle of rotation is determined by the applied torque, T, the shear modulus, G, the area moment of inertia, JA, and the length, L, of the rod. The constant parameters can be lumped into a single spring coefficient similar to that used for translational springs.

Damping
Rotational damping is normally caused by viscous fluids, such as oils, used for lubrication. The equation used for a system with one rotating and one stationary part is given by:
The equation used for damping between two rotating parts is given by:
41
Friction
Friction between rotating components is a major source of inefficiency in machines. It is the result of contact surface materials and geometries. Calculating friction values in rotating systems is more difficult than translating systems. Normally rotational friction will be given as static and kinetic friction torques.
42
Levers
The levers can be used to amplify forces or motion. Although theoretically a lever arm could rotate fully, it typically has a limited range of motion. The amplification is determined by the ratio of arm lengths to the left and right of the center.
