To learn from online you are advised to keep a personal learning journal for this course,
capturing the pieces of this jigsaw that make up the complex picture of dynamic systems.
Herein you can reflect on things that you learnt. Your reflection needs to reveal the what, the
how and the why of the theory, and may involve breaking down denial barriers. It is only from
these reflections that you will integrate new knowledge and skills. Please use the discussion
board to share some of your reflections in this learning process. Hope you will enjoy the
course.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course you will be able to:
1. Be aware of that complex systems can be simple if they are treated systematically.
2. Have the ability to develop equations of motions and do simulations based on analytical models.
All learning objectives will be provided in an academic environment which will stimulate you to
engage in discussions and reflections on advanced dynamics.
Study materials
1. AE4‐314 Lecture Notes, Delft University of Technology, 2002 ‐ will be provided via the Electronic
Learning Environment.
2. "Advanced Engineering Dynamics", Jerry Ginsberg, 1998 ‐ examples which are treated in classical
way
3. "Engineering Dynamics", Jerry Ginsberg, 2007 ‐ modern vector oriented treatment of classical
dynamics and its application to engineering problems
4. "Analytical mechanics", Josef Török, 2000 ‐ classical treatise on analytical mechanics
5. "Classical Mechanics", Gregory Douglas, 2006
6. "Variational Principles of Mechanics", Cornelius Lanczos, 1970 ‐ analytical dynamics with insight
on the history of dynamics
