ME 2027 - ADVANCED DYNAMICS
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Through the development and solution of the equations of motion of 3D mechanical systems, this course forms a foundation for applications such as three-dimensional robotics, autonomous driving and aerospace systems. The extension of elementary dynamics to multiple bodies in three dimensions treats basic kinematics, coordinate transformations/rotations and the constraints imposed by interbody connections. Methods that can be covered include the Newton-Euler formulation, the principle of virtual work, the Lagrangian formulation, the Method of Virtual Power (Kane’s Equations), the calculus of variations, Hamiltonian formalism, first integrals, Routh’s method, stability, canonical transformations, and the Hamilton-Jacobi theory. Numerical methods are applied to problems and are shown to accurately find the motions resulting from forces and moments.
