MAE 226. Advanced Dynamics (4 units)
Link to catalog page: https://catalog.ucsd.edu/courses/MAE.html#mae226
Description
This course covers advanced topics in Lagrange’s equations, rigid and flexible body dynamics, virtual power, non-holonomic dynamics, functional analysis, and integrals of motion. After taking this class, the student should be able to determine the equations of motion for even very complex dynamical systems; determine special invariants of the system helping to avoid detailed solution by computer and providing insight; and understand the basics of minimization and variational calculus.
