Common to IV sem. B.E. Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics

Objectives:
 To provide the necessary basic concepts of a few statistical methods in designing and solving problems.
 To provide various numerical methods in solving problems that occur in the field of Engineering and Technology.

UNIT-I TESTING OF HYPOTHESIS 12

Statistical hypothesis - Large sample test based on Normal distribution for single mean and difference of means -Tests
based on t, F and Chi-square test for single sample standard deviation. Chi-square tests for independence of attributes
and goodness of fit.
UNIT-II DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS 12
One way and two way classifications - Completely randomized design – Randomized block design –Latin square
design - 22 factorial design.
UNIT-III SOLUTION OF EQUATIONS AND EIGENVALUE PROBLEMS 12
Newton Raphson method – secant method – Gauss Jordan method – Iterative method of Gauss Seidel –Eigen value of
a matrix by power method and by Jacobi method for symmetric matrix.
UNIT-IV INTERPOLATION, NUMERICAL DIFFERENTIATION AND NUMERICAL 12
INTEGRATION
Curve fitting (y= a+ bx, y = a+bx+cx2)-Lagrange’s interpolations – Newton’s forward and backward difference
interpolation – Approximation of derivates using interpolation polynomials – Numerical integration using Trapezoidal
and Simpson’s 1/3 rules.
UNIT-V NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS 12
Taylor’s series method – Modified Euler’s method – Fourth order Runge - Kutta method for solving first order
equations – Finite difference methods for solving second order equations- Finite difference solution of one
dimensional heat equation by explicit and implicit methods - Two dimensional Laplace equation.

Course Outcomes:
On completion of course students will be able to
 Obtain statistical data from experiments and able to analyze the same using statistical test.
 Design experiments using suitable ANOVA techniques and draw conclusions.
 Solve algebraic equations and eigen value problems that arise during the study of engineering problems.
 Use interpolation methods to solve problems involving numerical differentiation and integration
 solve differential equations numerically that arise in course of solving engineering problems.
