Description - This course reviews principles used to understand
and model physical systems and introduces methods for building mathematical
models of engineering systems. An energetic approach based on bond
graph techniques, invented in 1959 by Henry
M. Paytner, is introduced and used to study mechanical, electrical,
magnetic, electromechanical, fluid, and thermodynamic systems. It
is expected that course particpants have had past exposure to these
topics, which will be only briefly reviewed. This is a graduate level
course, so it is assumed that certain methods of analysis can be reviewed
and applied independently. Some topics in analytical and numerical
techniques for assessing system performance and for prediction, particularly
nonlinear simulation, will be introduced and will form an integral
part of this course. |
| Prerequisites
- It is expected that you have had an undergraduate course in
system dynamics, and have had courses in mechanics, fluid dynamics,
thermodynamics, and electrical circuit theory. You should expect to
make use of the Engineering library to find information useful in
completing homework and projects. |

Dishonesty - All incidents of academic dishonesty will be treated
in strict accordance with University policy. This pertains to any
assignments where you are instructed to work individually (e.g., take-home
exams). |
