Syllabus

This course sums up the foundation of solid dynamics applied to structural analysis, as follows:

  • A first item deals with the fundamental signification of dynamics. Dynamics is not simply an extension of statics, but another modeling with open possibilities (including statics, obviously). The basic theorems (Newton’s equivalence principle, König’s theorems, conservations) are detailed in the perspective of structural applications.
  • The second point presents the generation of discrete dynamic systems, in the general formalism of Lagrange, well adapted for numerical modeling of dynamics. This toll is essential for the general representation of dynamic systems.
  • Then the third step consists in the generation and solution of matrix equations in the frame of conservative structural systems, with Gaussian modes. This part is important for the comprehension of the eigenshapes in vibration and shocks.
  • In the frame of the theory of prismatic beams, the application of the general dynamic formalism to continuous thin elementary is an example of generalization of the eigenshape theory and general dynamic representation of structures.
  • The four parts can be studied sequentially or independently ; and even inside each part, elementary learning items can be picked up.

Prerequisite

This course is for those with a good knowledge of physics who are interested in dynamics. It is ideal for undergraduate students in mechanical or physics engineering, engineers in the field of aerospace structures who want to integrate dynamics in certification process, and scientists and researchers who want to rediscover the fundamentals of dynamics.

Instructors

Editor

The ISAE-SUPAERO is a worldwide reference in aerospace higher education and research.

ISAE-SUPAERO provides high-level Graduate Programs in engineering, Master’s degrees, Advanced Masters, PhD degrees, with a wide range of career opportunities: engineering, research and development, logistics, consulting, finance, etc.

ISAE-SUPAERO also develops a very active research policy around four main principles:

to ensure a strong link between programs and research,
to set up an international center for hosting and training for Master’s degrees, Advanced Masters and PhD degrees,
to guarantee a proper balance between academic visibility and industrial aims proximity,
to promote innovation in the aerospace field.

Platform

FutureLearn is a massive open online course (MOOC) learning platform founded in December 2012.

It is a company launched and wholly owned by The Open University in Milton Keynes, England. It is the first UK-led massive open online course learning platform, and as of March 2015 included 54 UK and international University partners and unlike similar platforms includes four non-university partners: the British Museum, the British Council, the British Library and the National Film and Television School.
