MAE 2300 Statics
Description: Basic concepts of mechanics, systems of forces and couples: equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies; analysis of structures: trusses, frames, machines; internal forces, shear and bending moment diagrams; distributed forces; friction, centroids and moments of inertia. Cross-listed as CE 2300. Prerequisite: PHYS 1425. Co-requisite: APMA 2120
Note: This course is currently being redesigned under the support of UVA-SEAS Educational Innovation Award, with the aim of accelerating learning of mechanics courses by developing instructional modules that are comprised of symbolic manipulation, computation and visualization. The instructional modules can be downloaded from UVACollab for UVA students and might be shared outside upon requested.
***Undergraduate student who has a good score record of Statics Course (>B+) and is interested in developing instructional modules is welcome to join our team. ***
MAE6070 The Theory of Elasticity
Description: Concepts of stress, strain, equilibrium, compatibility; Hooke's law (isotropic materials); displacement and stress formulations of elasticity problems; plane stress and strain problems in rectangular coordinates (Airy's stress function approach); plane stress and strain problems in polar coordinates, axisymmetric problems; thermal stress; and energy methods.
MAE 4610/4620 Mechanical Engineering Design
Description: Students will engage the engineering basic design and manufacturing processes to complete their design and manufacturing of wearable devices (e.g. strain, temperature, pressure sensors) for monitoring surrounding activities. Both lectures and hand-on experiments will be given allowing students to work on a specific project of making a wearable device, thereby fostering their scientific thinking strategy that pursues a seamless integration of fundamental knowledge with the cutting-edge research frontier across engineering with an eye open toward collaborations with healthcare and data science.
