Teaching Mechanical Engineers about Embedded Programming

1 Peter H. Meckl, School of Mechanical Eng., Purdue University, 585 Purdue Mall, West Lafayette, IN 47907-2088, [email protected]. Abstract ? This paper describes an elective course on Microprocessors in Electromechanical Systems, taught in Purdue’s School of Mechanical Engineering. The course uses a Motorola 68HC12 microcontroller in a sequence of laboratory exercises to introduce students ...

The selection of proper machining-parameters viz. feed, speed and depth of cut is an important task for obtaining the desired performance in the turning process. This work proposes a neuro-fuzzy control scheme for the selection of feed and speed in a single pass turning. The scheme provides the manufacturer a flexibility of specifying the objectives in linguistic terms. The scheme is dependent ...

s spring In some nuclear reactor containment isolation applica­ Greek tions, butterfly valves with pneumatic actuators are used to close pipelines in the event of containment p density pressure transients resulting from postulated acci­ e angular position dents. A model is developed which predicts the closure time history of such valve/actuator systems INTRODUCTION under prescribed transients. ...

Mathematica, Packs for Mechanical Engineers – and the elastic torsion problem

Mathematica does nearly all the ordinary engineering mathematics which working engineers need. Mathematica has always done more than Computer Algebra (CA). Numerics, graphics, and user-interface matters have been smoothly integrated with the CA. Mathematica 3 adds mathematical word processing and hyperlinks. This opens the way to truly impressive, useful ‘electronic books’, ‘interactive enginee...
