3.00 Credits
Covers the mathematical fundamenals of estimating the state of a dynamic system. Reviews basic concepts in linear systems, Bayesian estimation, and minimum mean-square estimation followed by the introduction of the standard Kalman filter in both discrete-time and continuous-time formats. Examines extensions of the Kalman filter that include the extended and unscented Kalman filter as well as the H-infinity filter. PREREQ: MEEG621.
-
3.00 Credits
Considers problems in perception, planning, and control, and their systems-level integration in the context of self-driving vehicles through an open-source curriculum for autonomy education that emphasizes hands-on experience. Integral to the course, students will collaborate to implement concepts covered in Lecture on a low-cost autonomous vehicle with the goal of navigating a model town complete with roads, signage, traffic lights, obstacles, and citizens. PREREQ: MEEG311 and MEEG312.
-
3.00 Credits
Cell, the universal unit of life, behaves as a "mechanical living" entity. Besides sensing, "smell or taste" mediated by chemical reactions, cells also display a strong sense of "touch" mediated by mechanical interactions. Mechanics is involved in many fundamental processes such as cell shape, mobility, and differentiation. In this course, the students will be exposed to the principles of cytomechanics and the fascinating cellular responses and adaptation to the mechanical environment. PREREQ: BISC207 and MEEG215 or instructors approval.
-
3.00 Credits
The biomechanics and patho-mechanics of various human musculoskeletal joint systems. Normal joint anatomy and biomechanics; the mechanical effects of pathology and the goals of surgical repairs to counteract them are explored through in vitro, in vivo and mathematical modeling studies of joint system mechanics.
-
3.00 Credits
Anatomy and physiology including microanatomy and mechanics of bone, cartilage, tendon and muscle. Mechanical modeling of body including joint loads, motion analysis, muscle forces and interaction with orthopedic devices. PREREQ: MEEG211 and MEEG215 or graduate standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Biomaterials for mechanical replacement of Orthopaedic tissues: bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon and whole joint systems. Topics include normal tissue mechanics and biocompatibility, mechanical behavior, degradation and host response to biomaterials. Experimental methods to assess biomaterials along with design and manufacturing considerations for joint and tissue replacements.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis of water, solute, gas, and heat exchange in microcirculation and relationship between structure and function. Transport in biological porous media examined and applied to arterial wall, bone, and cartilage. Active transport across membranes considered and applied to kidney and secretary organs. Introduction to transport across cell membrane and role of receptors in transport, cell adhesion, and intracellular signaling presented.
-
3.00 Credits
Linear algebra: generalized vector space, eigenvalue problem, diagonalization, quadratic forms. Field theory: divergence theorem, Stokes' theorem, irrotational fields. Sturm-Liouville theory, Bessel functions, Legendre polynomials. Partial differential equations: diffusion and Laplace equations by separation of variables and Sturm-Liouville theory, wave equation. Engineering applications.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers the basic models and solution approaches for sequential decision making problems under uncertainty (stochastic control). Provides a unified treatment of the subject, suitable for a broad engineering audience.
-
3.00 Credits
Composite and isotropic sandwich structures are studied for stresses, deformations, buckling loads, natural frequencies and dynamic response under mechanical and environmental loads, involving honeycomb, solid, foam, web and truss core sandwich comprising beam, plate, ring and shell structures. Design and minimum weight optimization are treated.
