Computational Mechanics GEORGIOS STAVROULAKIS - undergraduate - (A-) School of Production Engineering and Management, Technical University of Crete Introduction to computational mechanics, with emphasis on the finite element method. Numerical methods in construction. Finite element method (equilibrium, compatibility, material laws, geometric discretization, stiffness and mass matrix, composition of items, total matrices, formation and solution, post data). Brief theoretical introduction (virtual work principle, etc.), examples of static linear analysis (bar, beam, plane stress tray). Related problems.
Introduction to Mechatronics GEORGIOS STAVROULAKIS - undergraduate - (A-) School of Production Engineering and Management, Technical University of Crete Mechatronics deals with the loop of the dynamic system (mechanical, electric or a combination of several fields), with the control and with the interfaces used for the measurement response (sensors) and the imposition of control (actuators). And due to the fact that systems rarely meet the assumptions of our study, the mathematical model is complex (non - linear), has flaws etc. and usually use intelligent control systems (fuzzy logic, neural networks and hybrid techniques).
Dynamics, vibrations and control of structures GEORGIOS STAVROULAKIS - undergraduate - (A-) School of Production Engineering and Management, Technical University of Crete Simulation and numerical solution of problems of dynamics and vibrations of structures with introduction to the design and control of dynamical systems. Linear s-dof oscillator (free response, eigenfreequency, damping, forced vibration). Discrete m-dof oscillators (simulation, eigenmodes, eigenfreequencies, modal anaysis). Analytical dynamics (restrictions, virtual work principle, Lagrange equations, Hamilton principle). Continuous medium.
