Goals

The module imparts knowledge on kinematic and kinetic relationships of spatial multibody systems as well as on the derivation of equations of motion. After successful completion of the module, the students are able:

  • Analyze the kinematics of plane and spatial systems

  • Determine correlations between position, velocity and acceleration values

  • Forced conditions (holonome and non-holonome) to formulate

  • Perform coordinate transformations

  • Derive equations of motion with the help of impulse and momentum theorem as well as

    Lagrangian equations 1

  • Formalisms for multi-body systems


Topics

  • Introduction to kinematics and kinetics
  • Newton-Euler equations
  • Lagrange equations
  • Formalisms for multibody systems
  • D'Alembert, Jourdain und Gauß principles
  • Stability problems
  • Gyroscopic theory
