Dynamic behavior of mechanical systems: modeling, analysis techniques, and applications; vibrations of single- and multidegree- of-freedom systems; feedback control systems. Computer simulation and experimental studies of vibration and control systems.

Prerequisites MATH 2930, MATH 2940, and MAE 2030.

Enrollment Priority Enrollment limited to: juniors.

Last 4 Terms Offered 2025FA, 2024FA, 2023FA, 2023SP

Learning Outcomes

Student will be able to build an accurate dynamic model of a complex mechanical or electromechanical system by a divide-and-conquer approach that makes use of physics, constitutive laws, geometry, and whatever other information one may have about the system.
Students will be able to use linear and nonlinear system simulation and analysis tools to study transient and frequency response of systems.
Students will be able to use modern dynamics and control lab equipment to measure, record and analyze system response.
Students will be able to choose appropriate values for model parameters to meet passive or open-loop performance specifications on dynamic response.
Students will be able to design closed-loop feedback controllers to meet performance specifications on dynamic response.
