http://www.maths.lth.se/na/courses/FMN110Short introduction to (multibody dynamics). methods for linear system analysis, simulation of unconstrained mechanical systems, differential-algebraic equations and system with constraints (joints), treatment of systems with discontinuities (friction etc.), parameter identification methods, coupled rigid and elastic systems.
Multibody dynamics is the basis of software tools for the simulation of complex mechanical systems such as vehicles, robots and even biomechanical devices. The course focuses on numerical simulation and analysis methods for these type of systems and their interaction with modelling of mechanical systems. The course can even be seen as a basis for future projects and a master thesis in this field.
