-
3.00 Credits
Highlights free and forced vibration of discrete and continuous systems. Examines Lagrange's equation, Fourier series, Laplace transforms, and matrix and computational methods. Applies knowledge to practical engineering problems. Prereq., MCEN 4030. Same as MCEN 5123.
-
3.00 Credits
Addresses the relationship between material structure and the fundamental processes of deformation, yield, and fracture. Examines elements of elasticity theory, introduction to plasticity, and formulation of failure criteria. Studies basic deformation processes in terms of dislocation mechanics and macroscopic mechanical behavior. Takes into consideration the influence of compositional and processing strengthening mechanisms on mechanical properties. Prereq., MCEN 2063 and 3024.
-
3.00 Credits
Prereq., MCEN 4025 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces air quality regulations, meteorology, and modeling; methods for controlling major classes of air pollutants, including particulate matter and oxides of sulfur and nitrogen; and control technology for industrial sources and motor vehicles. Requires interdisciplinary design projects. Prereq., MCEN 3021 or equivalent. Same as MCEN 5131.
-
3.00 Credits
Considers the mechanical behavior of biological materials and emphasizes the relationship between structural characteristics and macroscopic behavior. Focuses first on the mechanical behavior of microscopic protein and polysaccharide elements and then on larger scale soft and hard tissue structures. Prereq., MCEN 3024 or equivalent. MCEN 4124 recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
Air pollutants cause material damage and adversely affect human health. People spend over 80 per cent of their time indoors; often, air pollutant levels are higher indoors than outdoors. In this course we study air pollution in indoor environments and design appropriate control technologies. Prereqs., MCEN 3021 and 3022. Same as MCEN 5141.
-
3.00 Credits
Description of the mechanisms by which fuel and oxidizers are converted into combustion products. Application to practical combustion devices such as Otto, Diesel, gas turbine, and power plant combustion systems. Consideration of combustion-generated air pollution, fire safety, and combustion efficiency. Prereq., MCEN 3012. Recommended prereqs., MCEN 3021 and 3022. Same as MCEN 5152.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines common energy-conversion methods and devices. Topics include power-cycle thermodynamics, turbocompressor and expander processes, combustion systems, and applications and limitations of direct energy-conversion systems. Prereq., MCEN 3012.
-
3.00 Credits
Introductory course covering the theory behind and applications of the finite element method as a general and powerful tool to model a variety of phenomena in mechanical engineering. Applications include structural mechanics, mechanics of elastic continua, and heat conduction. Prereq., MCEN 2023 and 2063, or equivalents. Same as MCEN 5173.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the failure of materials used in engineering design through a series of real world case studies. Example failure modes considered include overload, fatigue, creep, and corrosion. Example case studies include failure of aircraft, mountaineering ropes, weight training frames, and toilets. Prereqs., MCEN 2024 and 2063. Same as MCEN 5174.
