Allison University of Michigan Department of Mechanical Engineering January 10, 2005 University of Michigan Department of Mechanical Engineering Applications of Numerical Methods in Engineering Objectives: Motivate the study of numerical methods through discussion of engineering applications. Illustrate the use of Matlab using simple numerical examples. University of Michigan Department of Mechanical Engineering January 10, 2005 Lecture Overview • Quantitative Engineering Activities: Analysis and Design • Selected Categories of Numerical Methods and Applications – Linearization – Finding Roots of Functions – Solving Systems of Equations – Optimization – Numerical Integration and Differentiation • Selected Additional Applications • Matlab Example: Fixed Point Iteration • Matlab Example: Numerical Integration University of Michigan Department of Mechanical Engineering January 10, 2005 Quantitative Engineering Activities: Analysis and Design Engineering: Solving practical technical problems using scientific and mathematical tools when available, and using experience and intuition otherwise. Mathematical models provide a priori estimates of performance— very desirable when prototypes or experiments are costly. Engineering problems frequently arise in which exact analytical solutions are not available. Approximate solutions are normally sufficient for engineering applications, allowing the use of approximate numerical methods. University of Michigan Department of Mechanic
