ADVANCED COMPUTATIONAL DYNAMICS

ME 751
Course Description

Overview of techniques used to understand the time evolution (dynamics) of multi-body mechanical engineering systems. Modeling, equation formulation, and numerical methods used to determine the dynamics of multi-body mechanical systems. Rigid and flexible multi-body dynamics, friction and contact. Knowledge of Python or MATLAB strongly recommended. Knowledge of dynamic systems [such as M E 240 or340] required.
