Modeling and Analysis of Dynamical Systems

(3 Credits)

This course presents techniques for developing and analyzing mathematical models of mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, fluid and thermal systems. Transient, steady-state, and frequency responses of single- or multi- degree of freedom systems with lumped parameters are determined using analytical and numerical methods. Linearization and state-space representation of Dynamical Systems are also presented. Linear free- and forced vibrations in single- and multi-degree-of-freedom systems are discussed and methods of vibration absorption and isolation are introduced.
