- 85-122. Engineering Mechanics II
- Kinematics of particles; kinetics of particles: Newton's Second Law, work-energy and impulse-momentum methods; moments
of inertia of areas and masses; kinematics of rigid bodies, plane motion. (3 lecture, 2 tutorial hours a week.)
- 92-457. Advanced Dynamics
- Kinematics of particles and rigid bodies. Dynamics of particles, systems of particles and rigid bodies, with applications
to engineering problems. The gyroscopic effect. Introduction to variational methods. Lagrange's equations, Hamilton's
principle. (2 lecture, 1.5 tutorial hours a week.)
- 92-544. Finite Element Methods for Crashworthiness and Impact Analyses
- The topics include a brief history on the use of numerical tools in automotive/impact field, explicit and
implicit time integration techniques, shell and solid finite element formulations for impact analyses - advantages
and disadvantages, zero energy modes (hourglassing) and hourglass control, material modeling for large displacement
problems, finite element modeling for contact problems, mesh adaptivity, arbitrary Lagrangian and Eulerian meshes for
large deformation problems, use of implicit integration techniques for impact problems, quasi-static simulations as well
as the development of finite element models for impact analyses.
