A continuation of ME401 focusing on simulation-based design. Special focus on application of design methodologies to mechanical elements and assemblies of weapons. Integrates principles of statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and other disciplines into design efforts involving target effects, projectile flight, gun tubes, recoil devices, mechanisms, optimization, and system reliability. Applies computer techniques to achieve design. Design projects continue to emphasize optimum use of resources to satisfy specifications typically seen in mechanical elements of weapons.
