Overview of class
Mechanical Engineering 314
Theory of Machines - Dynamics
Catalog description
This class covers the foundations of rigid multi-body mechanics. Topics include geometry of rigid bodies, rotating bodies, Lagrangian mechanics and variational principles, conservation of energy and momentum, symmetries, impact dynamics, and numerical methods that may be used to simulate mechanical systems. Students numerically simulate rigid body systems and use rigid body geometry to visualize simulations.
Who takes it
Mechanical engineering students often take this course during their third or fourth year.
