(Mechanical)
Objectives
To extend previous studies in mechanics and machine systems.
Content
Mechanics of Materials
This topic provides experience and understanding of
experimental methods of stress analysis and extends the
student's ability to apply basic principles to more complex
problems covering.

axis. Experimental stress analysis.
Vibration and Noise Control
This topic provides basic understanding of noise control and
extends the earlier study of vibrations.
Continuous and branched systems. Vibration measurement.
Balancing of solid rotors field balancing.
Control Engineering
Transient response and the root locus method. Frequency
response analysis; Modern control and state space
techniques;
