Analytical Mechanics

I will teach basics and applications of analytical mechanics emphasizing variation principle of statics, variation principle of dynamics, and method of variation. These issues will be applied to mechanics of rigid body systems and vibration, which are important topics in mechatoronics.

1st 9/27Introduction: Newton mechanics vs analytical mechanics
2nd10/4 Variational Principles: variational principle in statics, variational principle in dynamics
3rd10/18Variational Principles: principle of virtual works, Hamilton's principle
4th10/20Variational Principles: numerical method for ODEs, constraint stabilization method (CSM)
5th10/25Motion of Mass: Lagrange equation of motion, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems
6th11/1 Link Mechanisms: planar open link mechanism, planar closed link mechanism
7th11/8 Rigid Body Rotation: planar rotation, object coordinate system, inertia of moment
8th11/15Rigid Body Rotation: spatial rotation, rotation matrix, angular velocity vector, quaternions
9th11/22Rigid Body Rotation: equation of rotation, forced rotation
10th11/29Elastic Deformation: elastic potential energy, finite element method (FEM)
11th12/6 Elastic Deformation: kinetic energy, dynamic equation of deformation
12th12/13Elastic Deformatino: 2D/3D elastic deformation
