Restrictions:
Must be enrolled in one of the following Level(s):
Graduate
Prerequisite(s): MECH 502
Description: Various types of nonlinear dynamic behavior are studied in mechanical systems and structures. The course will focus mainly on quasi-periodic and chaotic behavior but will also include periodic behavior. Modeling and analysis methods will be discussed for both discrete and continuous time systems including Lyapunov exponents and pseudo-state space. Recommended Prerequisite(s): MECH 665
