چکیده
A new computationally oriented mathematics education is presented. The education combines traditional symbolic mathematics with computational mathematics and programming in the Matlab environment. Engineering applications are explored in computational exercises that are taught jointly with the courses in mechanics and thermodynamics.

Integration of a Computational Mathematics Education in the Mechanical Engineering Curriculum
The rapid development of computers and the internet has given new opportunities for engineering work as wells as for teaching and learning. The use of advanced modern mathematics is becoming increasingly more popular in the engineering community and and most problem solutions and developments incorporate high precision digital models, numerical analyses and simulations. However, this kind of ma...
متن کاملAn Analytical Approach of Nonlinear Thermo-mechanical Buckling of Functionally Graded Graphene-reinforced Composite Laminated Cylindrical Shells under Compressive Axial Load Surrounded by Elastic Foundation
This paper deals with an analytical approach to predict the nonlinear buckling behavior of functionally graded graphene-reinforced composite laminated cylindrical shells under axial compressive load surrounded by Pasternak’s elastic foundation in a thermal environment. Piece-wise functionally graded graphene-reinforced, composite layers are sorted with different types of graphene distribution. ...
متن کاملAn efficient finite difference time domain algorithm for band structure calculations of Phononic crystal
In this paper, a new algorithm for studying elastic wave propagation in the phononic crystals is presented. At first, the displacement-based forms of elastic wave equations are derived and then the forms are discretized using finite difference method. So the new algorithm is called the displacement-based finite difference time domain (DBFDTD). Three numerical examples are computed with this met...
متن کاملA study on the sub-structure and mechanical properties of friction stir processed AA 6061-T6 joints with ultra-fine grained structure
Ultra-fine grained (UFG) structure (~0.6 µm) was produced in the stir zone (SZ) of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy joints using friction stir processing (FSP) cooled by liquid nitrogen (N2). A new experimental set-up was used to simultaneously quench the lower and upper surfaces of the samples during the processing. In addition, FSPed joints, using a steel backing plate, were produced at room temperatur...
متن کاملAssessment of different methods for fatigue life prediction of steel in rotating bending and axial loading
Generally, fatigue failure in an element happens at the notch on a surface where the stress level rises because of the stress concentration effect. The present paper investigates the effect of a notch on the fatigue life of the HSLA100 (high strength low alloy) steel which is widely applicable in the marine industry. Tensile test was conducted on specimens and mechanical properties were obtain...
