# Analytical Dynamics

## MANE-6400

A fundamental course in dynamics of rigid and flexible bodies. Review of kinematics and Newtonian dynamics; virtual variations and fundamentals of calculus of variations; generalized coordinates, velocities and momenta; constraints; generalized Hamilton's principle and Lagrangean dynamics; rotational dynamics, orientation angles and Euler parameters; brief introduction to the analysis of nonlinear systems and stability of motion. Applications to the motion of rigid and flexible bodies. The role of symbolic manipulation in dynamics is introduced.
