MD - Machine Dynamics

Module Description
Students will be able to recognize and model phenomena of machine dynamics. They will be able to select modeling approaches that are appropriate for the problem at hand. Students will know how to apply standard analytical solution methods and how these can be effectively supported by numerical software. They will be able to calculate and interpret solutions to equations of motion.
