Dynamics and Stability

Course code: AE3914 [Old course]

Summary Grade: 7.7

The files below summarize the dynamics and stability course. The summary is based on the book of this course.

• Basic concepts (76kb)
  Before we'll go into depth on dynamics and stability, we first examine some interesting basic concepts.
• Lagrangian dynamics (91kb)
  In the Lagrangian dynamics, we examine energy by using generalized coordinates. That's what we'll do in this chapter too.
• Stability theory (65kb)
  In this chapter, we'll investigate the effects of the equations of motion and the potential function on stability.
• Rigid bodies (125kb)
  How do we deal with rigid bodies? And what relations apply to them? It's all discussed in this file.
• Calculus of variations (79kb)
  What is the calculus of variations? And how do we apply it to dynamic problems? This file discusses it all.
