CODE 72443 ACADEMIC YEAR 2016/2017 CREDITS 3 cfu anno 1 INGEGNERIA MECCANICA - ENERGIA E AERONAUTICA (LM-33) - SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR MAT/08 LANGUAGE Italiano TEACHING LOCATION SEMESTER 2° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: MATHEMATICAL METHODS FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING OVERVIEW The course aims to provide the student knowledge about numerical methods for mechanical engineering problems, particularly with regard to the solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Let the students master the basic elements about Laplace and Fourier transforms, optimization problems, and numerical methods for optimization and ordinary differential equations. TEACHING METHODS The time-schedule of the course is four hours per week in the second semester. The module consists of a theoretical part complemented by laboratory exercises carried out in Matlab. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The module aims to provide the basic elements of numerical analysis. The main part concerns numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations (ODE) and partial differential equations (PDE). The purpose is to acquire a knowledge of numerical methods and their implementation, with a focus on stability analysis, accuracy and convergence of the methods. The lectures are complemented by laboratory exercises carried out using Matlab, one of the most used programming languages for scientific computing. 1. Numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. 2. Numerical methods for partial differential equation: elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic. Choice of the most suitable type of method depending on the type of PDE. 3. Finite Difference Method for problems in smooth domains: Poisson and diffusion equation. 4. Finite Element Method for elliptic and parabolic equations. Advection-diffusion equation and stabilization techniques. 5. Finite Volume Method for elliptic, parabolic and first-order hyperbolic (nonlinear conservation laws). The Riemann problem: characteristics, shock waves, rarefaction, contact discontinuities.
