Element Theory

Finite Element Analysis has become a powerful tool for Industry, specially, in the Design and Development sector. In response to that, Mechanical Engineering Programs followed by Mechanical Engineering Technology programs all across the country are incorporating Finite Element Analysis as a part of their curricula. This paper describes the distribution of Finite Element Analysis amongst the junior and senior level courses in Mechanical Engineering Technology curriculum at Georgia Southern University. The links between these classes with sophomore classes are established. A stand alone senior level elective course that covers more in depth of Finite Element theory is also developed.

Multibody Dynamic

Virtual prototype plays an important role in agile designing and manufacturing. Finite Element Analysis and multibody analysis software can also assist engineers with developing and analyzing sophisticated machines. In this paper, a virtual model of an automobile wiper is modeled and used to be simulated under virtual environment of ADAMS, which is a famous tool in mechanical engineering. After simulation, the vibration and noise that the wiper works with have been found and some suggestions are given in discussion and conclusion.
