Assessment 1: Other

Assessment 3: Other

During computer labs verbal feedback on formative assessment of technical performance will be available.

Assessment 1: Written Assignment

Taught material will contribute an element every week to the SAIL programme (Score As I Learn) submitted via the VLE platform. 11 x 15 minutes weekly assignments (quizzes). Each assignment (quiz) will be worth 3%. Taking the best 8 out of 11 scores.

Written Assignment

Assessment 2: Written Assignment

A written report on a computer simulation of a mechanical system. The assignment will include the development of a model using appropriate techniques and the simulation results for a specific test case.

Assessment 3: Written Assignment

Laboratory.A written assignment which will include detailed analysis of the results from a laboratory test or a computer simulation and the optimisation of a design based on these results. The report will include data processing and validation of the simulation results, comments on strengths and weaknesses of the methods and conclusions regarding the modelling methods and their applicability to real world problems.

The module uses selected topics to give you an advanced understanding of the theory and analytical tools that can be applied to dynamic mechanical systems. You will develop the ability to develop models and analyse complex systems using commercial software packages and to specify appropriate optimisation and mitigation techniques. The module further provides, through theory and practical examples, the means to quantify and solve realistic problems. Laboratory testing of a practical system will be used to provide data to validate models. Fundamentals of acoustics are covered including sound sources and propagation and mitigation of noise. Measurement techniques form part of the investigative nature of the subject and general empirical methodology. Mathematical analysis packages are used extensively throughout the module.
