| Summary |
In the last decades, applied dynamics has been incorporated into many new areas beyond its original applications in machine and vehicle dynamics. Models of robot dynamics are being successfully exploited in biomechanics, three-dimensional hinges are helping in the development of middle ear protheses, and contact models for a few bodies are also being utilized for systems of a great number of particles. At the same time, model-based design of control-systems requires low-dimensional systems as provided by multibody dynamics. Complex models with finite elements can be represented with new methods of model reduction under given error limits. Complex models, also containing tire models of vehicles, are also being used, e.g., in the control of self-balancing Segway scooters. Moreover, efficient models are indispensable for the rapidly developing field of simulation technology. All these new challenges and methods require extensive knowledge of the foundations of applied dynamics which remain just as relevant as ever for academic education. Lectures at universities as well as continuing education in industry have the essential task in common, namely the axiomatic, computer-based modelling of mechanical and mechatronic systems, that requires advanced applied dynamics |
