Environmental tests for vibration and shock. Methods of vibration and noise analysis will be demonstrated. Applied Fluid Mechanics A study of the fundamentals of fluid statics and dynamics. Principles and applications of fluid statics, fluid kinematics, fluid kinetics, the energy conservation principle, dimensional analysis and fluid momentum. Also covered are laminar and turbulent flow in pipes and products, fluid machinery, fluid meters and lifting vanes.
Special emphasis is placed on report preparation and computer-aided data reduction.
One quarter of appropriate work experience in industry. The static theories of failure and mechanical fatigue analysis are reviewed. These concepts are applied to the selection, analysis and design of power transmission shafts, power screws, fasteners, springs and spur, helical, bevel and worm gears. The study of the machine design principles in a design team environment to conceptualize design, build and test a product or mechanical system. Group projects from industry or school laboratory are emphasized.
