ADVANCED DYNAMICS (MAE 8620 Spring 2010) Description: Fundamental principles of advanced rigid body dynamics with applications.

. Special mathematical techniques including Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods are covered. Course Prerequisites: Undergraduate Dynamics Recommended Reference: Principles of Dynamics (2nd ed.), Donald T. Greenwood, Prentice Hall, 1988. Other Useful Reference (not required): Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences (2nd ed.), Mary Boas, Wiley, 1983. Instructor: Roger Fales Course Topics and Timeline:

Office: E3415 Lafferre Hall (Eng. Bldg. East) Office Hours: M/W 2:00-3:30 Phone: 884-1564 Email: falesr@missouri.edu Meeting Times and Places: Lectures: MWF 1-1:50 pm, E3403 Objectives: After taking this course you should be able to: 1. model advanced dynamic systems using Newtons and Lagranges methods, 2. understand and apply three dimensional kinematics, 3. do basic analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems, 4. analyze systems using vibration theory. This course will help prepare you for your research.

I am open to any suggestions for optional topics or changes to the ones listed above to accommodate other interests. This class can cover many different topics.

Final: May 11, 8-10 a.m. Homework: Homework will be given for each topic. Solutions will be posted up to 3 days after the due dates (see late work section). Tests: There will be one test during the semester and a Final. Test problems will be similar to homework problems but not exactly the same.

Grading: Homework 30% Tests (1) 35% Final 35% Course Policies Late work: 15% off for each day late up to 3 days. Make up Tests: Make up tests will be given only for compelling reasons. Compelling reasons include sickness, natural disaster, etc. You must get prior approval if you know that you must skip a test. Collaboration: Students are encouraged to help each other with homework and labs. You are forbidden from just copying or having someone else do your work for you. You are encouraged to study together for tests. You are forbidden from helping each other during a test. You may only use materials during the test that are specifically authorized. Breaking any of these rules will result in an F for the course. Academic Honesty: Plagiarism, copying, or cheating will result in an F for the assignment or for the course. Academic integrity is fundamental to the activities and principles of a university. All members of the academic community must be confident that each person's work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed, and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful. The academic community regards breaches of the academic integrity rules as extremely serious matters. Sanctions for such a breach may include academic sanctions from the instructor, including failing the course for any violation, to disciplinary sanctions ranging from probation to expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism,

paraphrasing, quoting, collaboration, or any other form of cheating, consult the course instructor. Help: You can get help from your fellow classmates to study and out of class assignments. You can also get help from me. Send email to me to ask questions. If you want to see me in person, I plan to be available during office hours. If you cant meet during office hours, make an appointment using email. Attendance: Attendance is not required. However, many of the homework and test problems will come from topics covered in class. You should attend class since it will help you do well in the class. If you miss class get the notes from a classmate.

ADA Statement: If you need accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please inform me immediately. Please see me privately after class, or at my office. To request academic accommodations (for example, a notetaker or extended time on exams), students must also register with the Office of Disability Services, (http://disabilityservices.missouri.edu), S5 Memorial Union, 882-4696. It is the campus office responsible for reviewing documentation provided by students requesting academic accommodations, and for accommodations planning in cooperation with students and instructors, as needed and consistent with course requirements.
