Unsymmetrical bending of beams, thin plates, stress analysis of thick-walled cylinders, and rotating discs. Theory of elastic energy, curved beams, stress concentration, and fatique.

A study of concepts of scale modeling in engineering applications. The course will include dimensionless numbers, scaling laws, and their application in engineering design and research.

A comprehensive study of wave propagation in fluids; derivation of the scalar wave equation and a study of its elementary solutions for time harmonic and transient waves in one, two and three dimensions. Radiation and scattering of waves at fluid and solid boundaries. Integral equation solution of the scalar velocity wave potential; numerical methods.

Many physical systems exhibit some nonlinear behavior. This course presents some methods of analyzing discrete, nonlinear, dynamical systems and applies the methods to typical mechanical systems. Various kinds of nonlinear behavior, including resonance phenomena such as harmonics, parametric excitation, and discontinuous jumps in amplitude are considered. Lyapunov stability criteria and Floquet and Routhian procedures for performing stability analyses of systems are introduced, and their physical interpretations for various systems are studied.

Comprehensive study of heat convection; derivation of equations of convection of mass, momentum, and energy; boundary layer equations; classical solutions of laminar convection problems; turbulent convection; analogies between momentum and energy.

Principles of thermal radiation, the determination of radiation properties, and the analysis of radiation heat transfer. Results of recent radiation researches are included in the discussions.
