Description
The dynamics of machines and mechanical systems contribute significantly to their successful design and design life. This subject develops advanced concepts in the design and analysis of mechanical systems in the context of dynamic performance, energy conversion, and design life. Students analyse and interpret the kinematic and kinetic behaviour of mechanical systems and make decisions to simplify a problem to make it suitable for analysis and to develop design load cases that can be studied to investigate performance. Students also learn how to apply advanced fatigue life analysis techniques to design using Australian Standards, investigate problems, and to recommend different approaches to solving more complex problems with suitable justifications.
