I have tutorials for Dynamic Designer in my office if you need them. Projects due no later than 5pm on Thur. Modern analytical rigid body dynamics equation formulation and computational solution techniques applied to mechanical multibody systems. Kinematics of motion generalized coordinates and speeds, analytical and computational determination of inertia properties, generalized forces, Lagrange's equations, holonomic and nonholonomic constraints, constraint processing, computational simulation. You must use engineering paper and your problem solutions MUST be neatly written up in a clear and logical fashion.
Homework is due at the start of the class on the due date.
Half credit will be given for assignments up 5 PM the day after the due date. You are encouraged to consult with others on homework, but attempt each problem individually before working out the details together. Only by attempting the problem individually first will you find out which concepts you need to review and practice. Individual and partner homework assignments will be given throughout the semester. For take-home exams you may use your book, notes and computer software, but you are on your honor not to consult with classmates.
