MULTIBODY DYNAMICS
Multibody dynamics involves modeling and simulating how three-dimensional systems of rigid bodies connected by joints move under the influence of applied forces and torques. This class uses vector calculus to teach students how to derive ordinary differential equations that describe the motion of three-dimensional multibody dynamic systems and how to perform simulations that predict the motion of such systems.
