Teaching Rigid Body Dynamics using MATLAB and Computational Thinking
Overview
In this presentation, we’ll demonstrate how to use MATLAB to support the teaching of rigid body dynamics – one of the staples in physics and engineering courses. A collection of case studies from Mechanical and Mechatronic engineering will be presented, spanning 1st year concepts through to more advanced 3rd and 4th year rigid body dynamics. Specific case-studies will include:
- Kinematic analysis of a 4-bar linkage
- Equations of motion of a 3-Link robotic manipulator (Newton)
- Gyroscopic Boat Stabilization (Lagrange)
- A quadcopter that balances an inverted pendulum (Lagrange)
