What you’ll be able to do

  • Solve problems that pertain to the Kinematics and Dynamics of complex mechanical systems (mechanisms) made up of both rigid and deformable bodies

  • Formulate basic multi-physics models

  • Use Matlab or Python programming to produce a simulation engine that draws on the concepts introduced in this class

  • Use third party software to solve real-life problems tied to mechanical systems that include rigid and compliant elements and might interact with a fluid
