Kypuros, Ph.D. ENGR 3.250 TBA jakypuros@utpa.edu mece.panam.edu/Kypuros/teaching/mece-3304 MECE 2304 and 3450 System Dynamics (4th Edition); K. Ogata. (Ogata) System Dynamics: Modeling and Simulation of Mechatronic Systems; D.C. Karnopp, D.L. Margolis, and R.C. Rosenburg. (KMR)

Course Description: The course covers lumped-parameter modeling of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and thermal systems. An energetic approach based on bond graph techniques, invented in 1959 by Henry M. Paytner, is introduced. Primary focus is on analysis of linear rst- and second-order systems. Time- and frequency-domain methods are covered. Students are shown how to model, analyze, and numerically simulate systems in MATLAB/Simulink. Advanced topics include state-space modeling and feedback control of dynamic systems.

Homework Policy: Homework must be sumbitted in the format described below. Each problem should have the following sections: 1. Problem Statement. Restate the problem and include any schematics given to help describe the problem. 2. Given. List the given parameters including symbols, values with units, and descriptions. 3. Find. State the parameters that must be found or the questions that should be answered. 4. Solution. Provide a detailed solution showing all steps. Insure that the detail provided is sufcient for another to follow clearly how the solution was derived. 5. Remarks. Comment on the solution. Does it make sense? If so, why? Homework must be submitted neatly on 8.5 inch by 11 inch paper. It should be stapled in the top left corner and hole-punched for a standard 3-ring binder. Grid engineering paper is preferred. Only one side of the paper should be used; the back side should be left blank. Portfolio Policy: Each student is required to maintain a notebook a 3-ring binder no thicker than 1 inch with the students name and ID number. The binder should be neatly organized and maintained through the semester. Use dividers group and organize contents. The rst item in the binder should be the course syllabus and policies. The binder should be neatly organized with tabs for each of the following sections: 1. Notes, 2. Homework, 3. Laboratory exercises, 4. Quizzes, and 5. Exams. Your binder will be submitted near the end of the semester and will be graded on neatness, organization, and completeness.2 Class Rules: 1. No mobile phones (or turn them off). 2. Conduct yourself in a professional manner. 3. Absolutely NO cheating. All suspected violations will be dealt with accordingly. All students are expected to abide by the UTPA Student Conduct Code as detailed in section 5.5.2 of the Handbook of Operating Procedures. In particular, as required by the University, the instructor must report any violations to part C.19 which addresses scholastic dishonesty.
