ASEN 5022 Course OutlineASEN 5022 – Dynamics of Aerospace StructuresThis course covers dynamics principles (both Newtonian and variational treatments), structural vibrations,transient structural responses, vibration measurements, and applications of vibration principles. The coursestrives to offer a balanced coverage of theoretical aspects and modern computational methods for modeling,analysis and design of dynamical systems.Instructor: K. C. Park (ECAE 185, 492-6330, E-Mail: [email protected])Texts: Primary text: Principles and Techniques of Vibrations by L.

(Theassignment may be announced on Tuesday if there is no class on Thursday.) They are due the followingThursday at the beginning of the class. Homeworks will be normally graded and returned the followingweek. Solutions are posted on the web site. No homework is assigned the week before midterms.You are encouraged to discuss the approach to homework assignments with other students in the course aswell as the instructor.GROUP HOMEWORK IS ENCOURAGED. The group may contain 2 or 3 students. Homework doneas a group will be graded as a group. Submit only one solution per group, with everybody’s name on it.Individual homework, however, is allowed.LATE HOMEWORKS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR CREDIT. This is a consequence of the factthat group homework is the rule. If you expect to miss a class when a HW is due, please make appropriatearrangements with the instructor for delivering the HW on time. If you are in a group, this situation shouldrarely happen.Homework presentation guidelines are separately posted on the web.EXAMSThere will be two 75-minute individual midterm exams during the semester. If given in class, they are usuallyclosed book. All the necessary formulas will be listed in the exam. Examination material will be noted inthe last HW assignment returned before the test.COMPUTER WORKSome of the course involves hands-on computer assignments. The preferred language for computer exercisesis Matlab.COURSE MATERIAL, WEB SITE, ANNOUNCEMENTSAll course material will be available on the Web athttp://caswww.colorado.edu/courses.d/IADYN.d/ASEN5022.schedule.htmlClick on the appropriate entry.
