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.
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
