Course code : ME-AED-U1
ECTS Credits : 5 Status : Optional
Placement : 6. semester Hours per week : 4
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : English

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 constrains. D’Alembert principle. Lagrange’s equations. Hamilton’s equations. Gyroscopic motion. Conservative systems. Euler angles. Dyadic notation. Kinematics and Dynamics of a rigid body. Equations of motion: Differential approach. Hamilton’s principle. Integral methods.

The theoretical results of the course are illustrated by practical examples.
Teaching method : 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.
Required prequisites : Applied Mathematics 1 (ME-MAT1) and Applied Mechanics 2 (ME-MEC2) or equivalent.
