The course is connected to the following study programs

  • PhD Programme in Engineering and Science

Recommended prerequisites

MAS601 or equivalent.

Course contents

The course presents a number of selected key topics within state-of-the-art in modelling of dynamic multibody systems.

  • Advanced modelling concepts

  • Choice of coordinates including rotational coordinates

  • Rigid body dynamics 2D and 3D

  • Inverse versus forward dynamic analysis

  • Reaction forces

  • Engineering phenomena

  • Springs and dampers

  • Friction

  • Inclusion of actuation system

Learning outcomes

The learning outcome is insight into the concepts of modelling dynamic multibody systems. Upon completion the successful student will have experience with modelling of 2D and 3D systems and understand the difference between inverse and forward dynamic analysis. Also the student will know how to implement external forces and an actuation system. The student will have a knowledge about some of the current research topics within multibody dynamics.

Teaching methods

7 days with lectures and exercises + homework.

Assessment methods and criteria

Oral examination. Pass/Fail.
