About the course
Aim
To develop a broader and deeper knovledge of classical mechanics through the study of particle mechanics relative to rotating/accelerating reference frames, rigid body dynamics and analytical mechanics. After the course, the student should be able to:
- Formulate equations of motion relative to accelerating and rotating frames of reference.
- With a systematic approach solve rigid body dynamics problems in three dimensions.
- Apply the methods of analytical mechanics formulate equations of motion in generalized coordinates implicitly containing constraints.
- Formulate, implement and document a computer simulation of a mechanics problem formulated as a system of nonlinear differential equations.
Content
Angular velocity and acceleration as vectors. The Coriolis equation. Dynamics of paricles in rotating and accelerating coordinate systems. The equations of motion for rigid bodies.Calculation of the moment of momentum for a rigid body. The inertia tensor and its representation in different coordinate systems. Formulation and numerical solution of mechanics problems as systems of ordinary differential equations.
