Overview

What is the similarity between a car suspension, a robot, a railway vehicle and a human body? They are all complex mechanical systems composed of rigid bodies moving through articulated joints and submitted to forces and torques. Their study is the basis of the scientific field called multibody dynamics. Whether you are an engineer designing a vehicle, a technician building a robot or setting up a prothesis, or a physiotherapist studying a human body motion, you might need to model...

Syllabus

Courses under this program:Course 1: Modeling and Simulation of Multibody Systems - Part IVehicles, bicycles, cranes, human body and robots are multibody systems. Learn how to model them and compute their kinematic and dynamic characteristics, such as velocities, accelerations and forces.Course 2: Modeling and Simulation of Multibody Systems - Part II90% of daily life multibody systems contain loops of bodies, e.g. vehicle or bike suspensions, parallel manipulators or robots, and musculoskeletal systems. They can also include joint constraints. In this second course about multibody systems, learn how to model them and how to deal with more advanced numerical analyses.
