/Mekanik fk/

Advancement level:
C

Aim:
To develop the knowledge of rigid body dynamics to a level where problems where the motion as a function of timie of a rigid body in three dimensions can be analyzed and solved using a computer.

Prerequisites:
Basic courses in Algebra, Calculus and Mechanics.

Course organization:
The course is given as a series of lectures and computer sessions. The examination is in the form of computer assignments, using Matlab and a commercial code for rigid-body dynamics.

Course content:
Coordinate transformations, Coriolis equation, moment of momentum, the inertia tensor, inertial systems, the equations of motion, the Euler angles, the Euler parameters, applications such as gyroscopic instruments.

Course literature:
Wiesel, W.E., Spaceflight Dynamics, 2nd edition, McGraw-Hill 1997

UPG1, 4 p.
UPG1 Computer assignments, 6 ECTS points
