Course description and aims

All machines are "Systems" which inevitably consists of multi number of mechanical parts relatively linked and connected. That is, "Multibody Systems." The relative motion of the mechanical parts creates the motion and function of machines. This course is to lecture the motion, mechanics and control of the systems as follows:
1. Multi particle systems
2. Rigid body link systems
3. Dynamics and inverse dynamics
The aim of this course is to give students enough ability to solve the mechanics of multibody systems by means of not only lecturing but also offering some excercises using computational analysis.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students' will be able to:
1) express and transform the coordinate systems mathematically
2) analyze the kinematics and dynamics of multi particle and body link systems
3) analyze the synthesis of ribid body systems' kinematics
4) understand the basic analysis of flexible multi body systems

Keywords

Rigid link system, Kinematics, Dynamics, Control, Robot

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This course mainly consists of lecturing. In addition, exercise and homework (report) are provided appropriately for students' good understanding.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

Several materials are proveded by lecturers

Reference books, course materials, etc.

Thomas R. Kane, David A. Levinson著　Dynamics - Theory and Applications
John J. Craig著　Introduction to Robotics: Mechanics and Control
Ahmed A. Shabana著　Dynamics of Multibody Systems

Assessment criteria and methods

Students' achievement scores are determined by final examination (about 60%) plus exercise and reports (about 40%).
