Week 3 - Solving second order ODEs

Introduction Underbody coating is the coating done in the car where some of the parts are physically difficult or not possible to reach but are prone to corrosion. Examples: Internal body panels, frame rails, etc. Importance It is done in order to prevent corrosion. Since these parts are difficult to reach and often these…

BENCHMARKING Introduction Benchmarking is a structured way of comparing the product of one company with those of other companies so that the resultant information can be applied towards improvement. It helps to set a target value to achieve a better performance of the product. In this report, you can find 4 5+ seater cars…

Parsing NASA thermodynamic data Introduction This program is used to parse the thermodynamic data given by NASA for 53 molecules in a file “THERMO.dat” and give the plot details and molecular weight of the species required. This program consists of multiple sub functions and it is all assembled in the file…

SOLVING OPTIMIZATION USING GENETIC ALGORITHM INTRODUCTION WHAT IS AN OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM? Optimization problems are the ones in which we need to find the maxima or minima of a function. Example iterating the value of Engine-Piston parameters for better efficiency. In this report, we are focusing on one of the evolutionary…

Introduction: The equation given for the problem is generally used to understand the behavior of the pendulum. If we replace displacement(x) instead of angular displacement(theta), it can be used to solve the modal analysis of structures. By using Matlab, I tried to simulate the motion of the pendulum. This can be achieved…

Introduction: 2R linkages mean there are two links and each has a rotational degree of freedom. The base of the first link is used as a pivot point. The other end of the first link is connected to one end of the second link and the other end of this link is attached to the manipulator. Application: It is generally used…
