SMG-5426 Electromagnetic-mechanical Modelling, 5 cr

Additional information

Advanced course on coupled electromagnetic-mechanical modelling. The student acquires skills to work as a research engineer or researcher in the field. Lectured every second year, not lectured during spring 2012.
Suitable for postgraduate studies
Will not be lectured year 2011-2012

Person responsible

Tuukka Nieminen

Requirements

Exercises/exam and a design project.

Learning outcomes

The student can explain the connection of Newtonian and Lagrangian mechanics, and apply the concept of virtual work. The student knows the practical significance of principal axes of moment of inertia, and can formulate a general 3D rigid body problem. The student can numerically solve plane strain and plane stress problems, and 2D eigenmode problems. The student is familiar with the essentials of magnetohydrodynamics and inertial navigation. The student has accomplished and reported a small design project.
