Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
Ability to mathematically model a complex engineering problem, in the discipline of mechanics and exploit that model.
In particular:
- Develop solid and system dynamics.
- Establish the number of degrees of freedom of a system.
- Establish the equations of a system of solids.
- Calculate the bonding reactions.
- Solve numerically a system of ordinary differential equations of order 2.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
Default Content- Solid Kinematics in 2-D and 3-D. Virtual works. Moments, products and tensors of inertia. Solid state kinetics and general theorems. Lagrange equations. Dynamics of solid systems. Variable mass systems (including applications to space i.e. spatial dynamics) Numerical solution of equations of motion.
Optional content (depends on the year) - Hamiltonian theory. Variational principles. Kepler's laws. Shocks in solid systems. Chaos. Celestial mechanics
Prior Experience
The course is based on bachelor BA1 courses : algebra, analysis, mechanics (systems statics and point dynamics), physics, informatics and introduction to engineering sciences.
More particularly, the following concepts are assumed to be mastered : free body diagram, partial and total derivatives of a function with n variables, equilibrium equations, analytical solving of simple ODE2 equations, among which the harmonic oscillator (ODE = ordinary differential equations)
