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	9/30	Introduction: Newton mechanics vs analytical mechanics
2nd	10/ 7	Variational Principles: variational principle in statics
3rd	10/14	Variational Principles: variational principle in dynamics
4th	10/21	Motion of Mass: planar motion of mass
5th	10/28	Motion of Mass: spacial motion of mass
6th	11/ 4	Rigid Body Rotation: planar rotation
7th	11/11	Rigid Body Rotation: spatial rotation
8th	11/18	Rigid Body Rotation: quaternion
9th	11/25	Link Mechanisms: open link mechanism
10th	12/ 9	Link Mechanisms: closed link mechanism
11th	12/16	Elastic Deformation: elastic potential energy
12th	12/23	Elastic Deformation: finite element method (FEM)
13th	1/ 6	Elastic Deformatino: dynamic deformation
14th	1/13	Inelastic Deformation: 1D inelastic deformation
15th	1/20	Inelastic Deformation: 2D/3D inelastic deformation
