AMME2500 Engineering Dynamics - The University of Sydney

Assignment Objectives:

• In this assignment, you will study the dynamic behaviour of a system of your choice. You will use the theoretical principles and analysis techniques developed in the course so far to develop and solve the equations of motion from an example of your selected system.

• The assignment will test your ability to perform research into your system, draw relationships between dynamics theory and real systems, make approximations, and to make realistic predictions about the motion of the system.

Assignment Instructions:

• Choose one of the systems suggested at the end of the assignment.

• Choose at least one of the following theoretical concepts in dynamics to describe your system/problem and its dynamic behaviors:
o Work and Energy of particles or rigid bodies
o Linear and/or angular momentum of particles or rigid bodies
o Kinematics and/or kinetics of particles, rigid bodies or machines

• You will perform research into the dynamics of your chosen system and use the chosen theoretical concepts in dynamics to describe the approach to predicting the motion of the system.

• You will develop a specific example of your system (with realistic numbers derived from research) and use principles in dynamics to derive equations of motion for your example. You will solve the equations of motion using analytical and/or numerical methods and present and discuss your results/predictions in relation to the expected system behaviors uncovered through your own research.

• You will write a report in which you discuss the dynamics of the chosen system and present your example, results and discussion. Your report must use the following structure:
o Introduction (approx. one page):
Describe the system under consideration
Describe in your own words your chosen concepts in dynamics used to describe the dynamic behaviors of your system in general terms, and describe how these concepts can be used to examine your chosen system.
o System/Problem Example (approx. two pages):
Provide an example of your system, and use this example to develop/solve equations of motion for the system considered.
Your example should include realistic measurements for the physical structure, mass, inertia, force/torque, velocity, acceleration etc. that are sourced from your research or appropriately reasoned.
Draw free body diagrams of your system, detailing and rationalizing any approximations you have made, then apply theoretical principles to develop equations of motion.
o Results and Discussion (approx. two pages)
Solve your equations of motion using analytical and/or numerical methods and present results illustrating the behavior of your system
Discuss the system motion/behavior using your results and relate this to the expected system behavior from your research.
o References
Provide citations for all researched information, figures etc.
o Appendix: MATLAB/Octave code
If you use MATLAB/Octave code in this assignment, please provide it in an appendix
o The main body of the report (includes the Introduction, Example, Results and Discussion) has a strict page limit of no more than five pages. Your references and appendix are not included in the page limit.
