Kursuskode : ME-AED-U1
ECTS Point : 5 Status : Tilvalg
Placering : 6. semester Timer pr. uge : 4
Længde : 1 semester Undervisningssprog : Engelsk

Hovedindhold : The course gives a detailed description of the analytical tools of dynamics as used in mechanical and aerospace engineering. The following topics will be covered:
Review of Newtonian dynamics. Principle of virtual work. Classification of constraints. D’Alembert principle. Lagrange’s equations. Hamilton’s equations. Gyroscopic motion. Conservative and non-conservative systems. Euler angles. Dyadic notation. Kinematics and dynamics of a rigid body. Euler equations. Equations of motion: Differential approach. Hamilton’s principle of least action. Integral methods. Introduction to “Geometric Mechanics”.

The theoretical results of the course will be illustrated by practical examples.
Undervisningsform : The teaching is based on "learning by doing". There will be introductory and summing up lectures. Project work in small groups includes tutorial exercises, assignments, computer simulations and case studies.
Krævede forudsætninger : Applied Mathematics 1 (ME-MAT1) and Applied Mechanics 2 (ME-MEC2) or equivalent.
