Over the past several terms, a collection of example computer problems have been developed in both MATLAB and Working Model. These examples have been collected to provide future instructors with a set of problems to use in class or to model future computer assignments after.
If you are unfamiliar with either MATLAB or Working Model, there are tutorials availablle which are simple and quick to get through. For help getting started in MATLAB look here , and for help with the tools required to run the example problems look here . The Working Model information can be found here .
MATLAB Examples:
The MATLAB examples currently available are for an SDOF oscillator which
is undamped, damped, and forced, a piston on a two bar linkage, and a simple
pendulum. The problem statements, solutions, and required codes can
be found by lclicking on the appropriate links in the following table.

Working Model Examples:
Descriptions and screen shots for the available Working Model examples
can be accessed through the following tables. The problems available
are a projectile which can be fired at different angles, a three bar linkage
which demonstrates rotating coordinate frames, a slider bar, a piston similar
to the MATLAB problem, a simple pendulum, and free and forced vibration
of an SDOF system. Several more problems which have not been assigned
or fully documented are also available. The actual codes which are
needed to run the program can be found in the directory:
/afs/engin.umich.edu/group/engin/dept/meam-course/Public/html/me240/WMXMPLS/
The file name for each problem is included in the right hand column.
The files may be copied easily at a unix prompt and then ftp'd to the local
machine. Save the file to the folder from which you intend to run
it later inside Working Model. The WM codes will also be available
on disk by contacting Karl Grosh (grosh@engin.umich.edu).
