Graduate Catalog |MEEG 522 FEEDBACK CONTROLThis course provides basic material about feedback control of systems. Topics include a review of Laplace transformtechniques and time response analysis; stability and feedback interconnections; basic transfer function analysis anddesign methods; robustness; state-space analysis and state feedback design.Pre-requisite MEEG 384 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.Co-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)MEEG 526 MECHATRONIC DESIGNMeasurements and control systems, signal processing, sensors and actuators, digital and electronic circuits,microprocessor architecture, microcontroller programming and interfacing, and real-time programming.Applications to control of mechanical systems.Pre-requisite MEEG 384 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.Co-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)MEEG 528 ADVANCED VIBRATIONSThis course builds upon the undergraduate vibrations course. It introduces energy based methods for derivation ofgoverning equations (Lagrange’s equation, Hamilton’s principle), vibration of distributed parameter systems(strings, rods, beams, and membranes). The second half of the course is focused on practical aspects including signalprocessing (sampling process, FFT, FRF calculation), basics of modal analysis, dynamics and condition monitoring ofrotating machinery.Pre-requisite MEEG 384 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.Co-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)MEEG 536 MEASUREMENTS AND INSTRUMENTATIONMEEG 536 is an advanced course on the theory and design of engineering measurements. Integrated throughout thecourse are the necessary elements for the design of measurements systems and measurement test plans, with anemphasis on the role of statistics and uncertainty analysis in design. Topics also include sensors, signal conditioningcircuits and noise reduction techniques. Typical sensor topics include temperature, force, torque, pressure, flow andacceleration. Practice will be given to students, through course projects, on the measurement of mechanicalengineering quantities. Software use such as Labview and Matlab will be integrated into course projects.Prerequisite MEEG 438 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.Co-requisite NoneRestrictions None(2-3-3)MEEG 543 APPLIED FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSISThe theory of the Finite Element Method will be introduced. Applications of static and dynamic finite elementanalysis of real world mechanical systems will be performed. Commercial F.E.A codes such as ANSYS andMSC.NASTRAN will be utilized.Prerequisite MEEG324, MEEG344 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.Co-requisite NoneRestrictions None(2-3-3)MEEG 544 ADVANCED MECHANICS OF MATERIALSThis course will introduce the students to more advanced topics in stress analysis and the theory of elasticity andthe response of materials and structural elements to applied forces and deformations. The course will begin with athorough explanation to solving mechanical problems. It will provide the students with material Strain energymethods; thick/thin-walled cylinders; shrink-fit assemblies; rotating disks; thermal stresses; shells and plates.Prerequisite MEEG344 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.Co-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)Page 82
