MECE 6341 Modeling of Physical Systems

This course reviews principles that govern the behavior of dynamic systems and introduces lumped-parameter methods for building mathematical models and simulations of engineering systems. An energetic approach based on bond graph techniques, invented in 1959 by Henry M. Paytner, is introduced and used to model, simulate and analyze mechanical, electrical, magnetic electromechanical, hydraulic and thermal systems. Advanced topics include nonlinear mechanics, Lagrange's Equations and distributed-parameter systems.
