Laboratory of Rational Mechanics

Course objectives

The aim of the course is to allow the student to know and master the tools of physics-mathematics applied to advanced problems of Analytical Mechanics, making him acquire knowledge and understanding necessary for a transposition of real physical processes into physical-mathematical models. In practice, the key concepts of Rational Mechanics must be assimilated and applied, analytically and specifically numerically through X-PPAUT and Matlab software, to central engineering situations. Particular attention to the study of application aspects greatly facilitated by the computer means to allow a quantitative modeling of systems also characterized by high levels of complexity. The acquisition of an ability to systematically investigate particular problems and practical cases has relevance for topics addressed in other Master's Degree courses in which the analytical mechanics of systems plays
