This course is a continuation of ME 212 and ME 321. Basic kinematic and dynamic concepts are extended. The emphasis is on vector methods, general kinematic relationships, planar and three-dimensional motion, gyroscopic effects, variational mechanics, Lagrange’s equation and Hamilton’s equations. Computer simulation of non-linear systems is discussed and a project involving computer simulation is usually assigned. [Offered: W] Prereq: ME 321; Level at least 4A Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering students only
