Analytical Mechanics


Tampere University


Core content · Equations of motion and conservation laws. The two complementary approaches in mechanics: direct solution of time dependencies and first integrals from conserving quantities. · Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods in physics and variational approaches. Several applications, such as equations of motion in rotating coordinate system, charged particle in electromagnetic field, rigid body motion. · Nonlinearity and chaos. Attractors, limit cycles, Hopf Bifurcations. · Numerical solutions of equations of motion derived using Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods. Molecular dynamics method. Complementary knowledge · Formulation and solution of field equations using variational methods. Correspondencies between classical and quantum mechanics. · Stability considerations. Numerical solution of chaotic systems and Poincare maps.
