MAE 6700 - Advanced Dynamics

Spring. 3 credits.

Prerequisite: MAE 5730 or permission of isntructor.

Staff.

Advanced dynamics of particles and rigid objects with emphasis on complex multi-object systems. Topics include: Hamilton’s principle and Lagrange equations; normal modes of high-order and continuous systems and Reliegh-Ritz; stability theory; and approaches to multi-object systems. Examples will come from celestial mechanics, machines, robotics and vehicle dynamics.
