Selected topics in mechanics

Lectures

Goal

The goal of this course is that students learn the basic elements: analytical mechanics, dynamics of rigid bodies system, stability of mechanical systems, oscillation of mechanical systems, optimal control theory.

Outcome

By gaining knowledge in this course, students will be able to carry out research in the fields of mechanical engineering, where there are problems of mechanics of rigid bodies. Students will be able to solve the basic problems of analytical mechanics, dynamics of rigid bodies system, stability of mechanical systems ...

Theoretical teaching

General principles of mechanics. Lagrange principle. Dalamber-Lagrange principle Lagrange's equations of the second kind (covariant and contravariant form). Analysis of Lagrange's equations. Hamilton's principle. The canonical equations. The dynamics of a system of rigid bodies. The stability condition of the mechanical system. Fundamentals of linear oscillations of mechanical systems. Control. Permissive control. Optimal control. Optimality.
