| Principal Content : | 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. |
