Three students from the ETSI have been awarded prizes in the IV National Olympiad of Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (OTM2)
Elias Nuñez, David Feria and Juan Feijóo won bronze medals in the team and individual categories of the IV National Olympiad of Theory of Machines and Mechanisms
Three students from the ETSI have formed the team that has represented the University of Seville in the IV National Olympiad of Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (OTM2), held in Toledo from September 28-30, 2022, resulting in the award of 3rd place in the individual category and 3rd place in the team category.
The team consisted of students Elías Núñez Ortega (3rd place in the individual category), David Feria Conforto, and Juan Feijóo Rodríguez, all students at the ETSI (School of Engineering) of the University of Seville.
A total of 16 students from six universities across Spain competed in solving four complex problems, applying the knowledge they had acquired in their Machines and Mechanisms Theory course. The Public University of Navarre and the Carlos III University of Madrid, respectively.
Topics of the exercises carried out in the National Olympiad of Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (OTM2)
- Mechanism structure, mobility and rotability.
- Kinematics of planar mechanisms
- Dynamics of planar mechanisms
- Dimensional synthesis of mechanisms
- Levas
- Gears
The OTM2 is a student Olympiad sponsored by the Spanish Association of Mechanical Engineering (AEIM), with the main objective of promoting and highlighting the teaching of Machine and Mechanism Theory at Spanish universities. It also aims to serve as a selection tool for teams to participate in the SIOMMS (Students International Olympiad of Mechanism & Machine Science), sponsored by the International Federation of Machine and Mechanism Science (IFToMM).
Elias, David and Juan, congratulations!
