Contents

The central content of the module is the application of Matlab and Simulink in software development relevant to mechanical engineering. Physical relationships are therefore converted into various model forms so that product development can be learned with the help of digital images of reality. Important areas of technical development, such as the control of technical systems or the interaction between software and hardware, are part of this module. Using the example of Arduino programming with Matlab and Simulink, students learn how to integrate software solutions into technical processes.
In addition to modeling, current topics in mechanical engineering are also covered, such as programming AI, machine learning and deep learning. To this end, image and pattern recognition using neural networks is also covered in this module.

Learning outcomes/competences

The students are able to describe acoustic phenomena objectively and subjectively. To this end, students can apply central acoustic measurement methods for the design of noise and vibration behaviour and use the results for the development of optimized technical systems.

In addition, you will learn how to use acoustic measurement technology and the procedure for machine and vehicle acoustic analysis, e.g. for determining natural frequencies or critical transfer paths. Students are thus able to describe the overall vibration behavior of technical systems and transfer this to the design of low-noise and low-vibration machines.

Furthermore, the effect of noise on people and the social significance of noise emissions are known. In addition to objective limit values, students learn about psychoacoustic effects and methods for evaluating subjective noise impressions and can use these specifically for noise assessment.

Learning outcomes/competences

The students know the Navier-Stokes equations and the role of the finite volume method in their computer-aided solution. Furthermore, the main characteristics of turbulent flows and their consequences for the theory are known. Students are also familiar with the various computer-aided approaches to modeling turbulent flows and can apply these turbulence models in an industrial context. A further learning outcome is the independent application of a CFD software suite including the generation of computational meshes in a team in order to answer a technical question. Students will be able to design the computational meshes in such a way that both relevant areas of the computational domain are provided with a high mesh element density and mesh-independent results are produced. Furthermore, the basic paradigms of parallelization are known and the computational efficiency of a simulation can be assessed. The learning outcomes also include recognizing the potential for simplification, such as the symmetry property of a problem, in order to optimize the computational domain including the software settings.

Contents

  • Navier-Stokes equations
  • Discretization using the finite volume method
