Eligibility

General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Specific entry requirements

The same as for the programme that owns the course.
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Course specific prerequisites

The courses LMA401 Calculus, MVE580 Linear algebra and differential equations and TME221 Mechanics (including statics and particle dynamics), or equivalent knowledge.

Aim

The course in plane rigid body dynamics is aiming towards an understanding of the basic equations of motions for plane rigid bodies and to numerically analyze a complex system using Matlab.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

  • derive the equations of motions for a system in general plane motion, by using the general laws of motion.
  • analyze the dynamics of rigid bodies i two dimensions theoretically, and also numerically by using the computer program MATLAB.

Content

The course contains vibrations of systems with one degree of freedom, dynamics of rigid bodies in two dimensions and numerical solution of dynamical problems using MATLAB. A mandatory project is included in the course. If this project is approved before the ordinary exam, the student will get 10 bonus points to use in the three exams that belongs to the course.

Organisation

The course contains 60 h of theory and problem solving lectures (integrated) and 140 h of home work including a project work.

Literature

Ragnar Grahn och Per-Åke Jansson, Mikael Enelund: Mekanik, 4e upplagan, Studentlitteratur.
Sune Olsson, Formelsamling i mekanik.

Examination including compulsory elements

Written exam containing 5 excercises with grades: not passed, 3, 4, 5, and approved project work.
