ME 4906 - Applied Numerical Methods

4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits

Course Description
This course is a capstone numerical methods experience meant to complement the dynamic systems sequence core concepts. The course will contain a focus on lumped modeling with specific reference to multi-degree of freedom eigenanalysis for linear systems as well as a strong focus on issues arising due to system nonlinearity and feasibility of linearization. (prereq: MA 383 , ME 230 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Solve fully nonlinear ordinary differential equations/initial value problems (IVP)
  • Apply principles from linear systems to fully nonlinear systems
  • Postulate and solve eigenvalue/eigenvector problems with applications to modal analysis and buckling

 

Prerequisites by Topic
  • Numerical integration of ordinary differential equations
  • Linear algebra
Course Topics
  • Differential equations
  • Linear algebra
  • System dynamics
