Course Overview

The course introduces the first principles of the dynamics of discrete and continuous mechanical systems: Newton laws and Hamilton variational principles. Within this course the students learn computer aided controller design and simulation using Matlab/Simulink software.

Learning Achievement

The students will learn about first principles in dynamics of discrete and continuous mechanical systems, methods for the solution of dynamical problems and their application to structural dynamics and active vibration control. Acquiring knowledge in fundamental control methods, structural mechanics and modelling and their application to the active control of mechanical structures.
