Objectives of the Course

Deals with advanced concepts in dynamics and assumes the knowledge of Newtonian dynamics of particles and systems of particles. Analytical dynamics is emphasized with developing mathematical models that describe the dynamics of systems of rigid bodies and elastically deformable bodies. The course will also address the formulation of equations of motion for complicated mechanical systems and methods for solving these equations. Formulation of mathematical models of the real engineering systems is also interested in.

Course Content
