Structural Dynamics

3 Credits

An introduction to modeling and structural analysis of mechatronic structures subject to dynamic loading. It deals with preliminary analysis of primary structure for mechatronics components, including such topics as load determination, torsion, bending, shear, buckling, fatigue and thermal analysis of thin-walled structures. Emphasis is placed on solving problems by finding the differential equations of motion of model systems and solving these equations analytically or numerically in Matlab.
