This optional unit encompasses these sections. 3D rotational dynamics are considered (e.g. 'gyroscopic' effects and Euler's equations). Lagrange's equation is used to determine the differential equations of motion of systems. This is extended to the analysis of the dynamics of general multi-degree of freedom systems. Finally, some of the attributes of non-linear systems are briefly explored. The course is supported by examples sheets and the use of Matlab demonstrations as appropriate.
