Three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics of rigid single- and multi-body systems. Equations of motion: the concept of dynamic equilibrium, d'Alembert's principle and the principle of virtual work, generalized coordinates and forces, degrees of freedom, calculus of variations, Lagrangian and Eulerian dynamics, and the floating frame of reference formulation. Deformable bodies dynamics. Applications to robotics, mechatronics, biomechanics, machine tools, launch/aero, and vehicle dynamics (each student should apply the acquired knowledge to one of these areas).
