Course Description
Dynamics of Mechanical Systems

Main objective of the course is to sufficiently develop students’ capability in modeling and analyzing complex dynamical systems that comprise mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and thermal components of lumped parameters. For this purpose modeling methodologies including Newton, Principle of Virtual Work, Lagrange, Hamilton and the Bond Graph method will be studied. Dynamics of underwater, aerial and wheeled systems with holonomic and non-holonomic constraints will be studies. Dynamical systems simulations will be developed using Matlab/Octave/Simulink software. The course includes laboratory exercises for dynamic parameter identification of an underwater vehicle, an aerial vehicle as well as a linear mass-spring-damper system.
