Offer 1 with catalog number 4016346ENR for all students in the 1st semester at a (E) Master - advanced level.
The course treats the basic principles of multibody mechanics .
Different formulations of the equations of motion are discussed and compared . During the praticum the students will use a commercial MBM packet to study an mechanical problem .
This specialisation cours aims at acquainting the students with the skills and knowledge to study complex mechanical systems using multibody mechanics
To support the lessons a reference book is used. Transparancies used during the course are available to the students
