ADVANCED COMPUTATIONAL DYNAMICS

ME 451

Graphical, analytical, and computer methods for the kinematic and dynamic analysis of mechanical linkages, mechanisms, and geared and cam systems.

ME 740

Vibration of mechanical components subject to dynamic loads; analytical, numerical and finite element methods applied to the analysis and design of mechanical systems consisting of cables, bars, shafts, beams, frames, rings, membranes, plates and shells. Knowledge of vibrations [such asM E 440] strongly encouraged.

ME 448

Integrated treatment of mathematical modeling and analysis of mechanical systems. Modeling of linear and nonlinear systems and their performance under transient, periodic and random loads.

ME 746

Emphasis on obtaining equations which define the behavior of physical systems frequently subjected to control; mechanical processing, fluid power, and thermal systems; analytical, experimental, and computer techniques. Knowledge of Automatic Controls [such asM E 446orE C E 332] is required.

ME 340

Mathematical modeling and analysis of dynamic systems with mechanical, thermal, and fluid elements. Topics: time domain solutions, analog computer simulation, linearization techniques, block diagram representation, numerical methods and frequency domain solutions. Students are assumed to have basic competence in particle and planar rigid body dynamics, matrix and vector algebra, and linear differential equations.
