Our educational program includes curriculum leading to a Master's Degree in Engineering with an emphasis on composites. Classes are held in locations on the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility, including NCAM's on-site classrooms and conference room.
2003-2004 Academic Year
Fall 2003
ENME 4023 - Advanced Engineering Mathematics
This course studies topics in linear algebra, vector analysis and tensor analysis with application to the derivation and solution of important linear and non-linear ordinary and partial differential equations occurring in mechanical engineering.
ENME 6096 - Numerical Methods in Engineering
Numerical methods are techniques by which mathematical problems are formulated so that they can be solved with arithmetic operations. Numerical methods invariably involve large numbers of tedious arithmetic calculations. With the development of fast, efficient digital computers, the role of numerical methods in engineering problem solving has increased dramatically in recent years.
ENME 6097 - Aerospace Composite Structures, I
This course studies basic Theorems and principles in the theory of structures (strain energy, virtual displacements, minimum total potential energy), general theory of beams bending (warping, shear flow in multi-flanged beams), general theory of torsion (shear center, multi-cell structures), plane stress problems, with application to design of aerospace structures made of composite materials.
Spring 2004
ENME 6357 - Fracture Mechanics
Stationary crack under static loading, energy balance and crack growth, crack initiation and growth, dynamic crack growth, fatigue, fracture of composite material.
ENME 6753 - Advanced Continuum Mechanics
Kinematics of motion and deformation, general development of balance equations of continuum mechanics; theory of constitutive equations; study of the constitutive equations for elastic, hyperelastic, viscoelastic and plastic materials.
ENME 6755 - Advanced Vibrations
Lagrange's equations of motion and their application to vibration analysis, multi-degree of freedom systems, matrix methods, transients.
