Engineering Analysis
Fall 2014
Catalog
Data:
Physical and mathematical aspects of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, and
electrical systems are introduced. Analysis techniques for modeling the dynamic
performance of lumped mass systems are presented and applied. Both formal
analytical and extensive computer methods are utilized for the determination of model
response.
