ME 581 Simulation of Multibody Dynamics - Spring 2022
Course Information
Course Objectives
After completing ME 581, all students should be able to:
1) diagram topology and detemine mobility of 2D and 3D mechanisms
2) compute kinematics and dynamics of 2D mechanisms using generalized coordinates, constraint vectors and differential-algebraic equations
3) measure mass moment of inertia
4) compute kinematics and dynamics of 3D mechanisms using Euler parameters, constraint vectors and differential-algebraic equations
5) describe 2D and 3D kinematics using finite and instantaneous screw axes
6) communicate well using verbal, written and electronic methods
