EGR 342 System Modeling and Analysis

Fall Semester

This course uses analogies to introduce modeling of basic mechanical and electrical systems including static and dynamic equilibrium force analyses, vibration, elasticity, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and simple electric circuits. Topics covered include methods of linear approximation; lumped, integral, and differential models; free and forced responses of first and second-order systems; steady-state frequency response and Bode plots; filtering; resonance; damping; dynamic stability analysis; and multiple degree-of-freedom systems. Prerequisite: 2.0 or higher in ME 270 or ECE 280.
