| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO KNOW AND TO UNDERSTAND THE METHODS OF ANALYTICAL MECHANICS, BOTH IN LAGRANGIAN AND CANONICAL FORMALISM. TO KNOW AND TO UNDERSTAND VARIATIONAL METHODS AND PRINCIPLES. TO KNOW AND TO UNDERSTAND LYAPUNOV'S METHODS FOR STABILITY. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO BE ABLE TO APPLY THE METHODS OF LAGRANGIAN AND CANONICAL FORMALISM TO SOLVE SIMPLE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH ONE OR TWO DEGREES OF FREEDOM. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES, STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED BASIC MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE RELATED TO MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS AND MOREOVER OF RATIONAL MECHANICS. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE COVERS THEORETICAL LESSONS, WHICH WILL BE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE TOPICS THROUGH LECTURES (32 HOURS/4 CFU) AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES (16 HOURS/2 CFU), DURING WHICH PROVIDE THE MAIN TOOLS NEEDED FOR SOLVING EXERCISES RELATED TO THE CONTENT OF THE THEORETICAL ASPECTS. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAM IS AIMED AT EVALUATING THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS EXPOSED DURING LESSONS AND THE ABILITY TO APPLY SUCH KNOWLEDGE AND TO FORMULATE THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS DESCRIBING THE DYNAMIC OF MATERIAL SYSTEMS. THE EXAMINATION IS DIVIDED INTO A SELECTIVE WRITTEN TEST AND IN AN ORAL INTERVIEW. THE WRITTEN TEST PROPOSES SIMPLE EXERCISES AND QUESTIONS WITH OPEN ANSWERS. THE ORAL INTERVIEW EVALUATES THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE. IN THE FINAL EVALUATION, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS, THE ASSESSMENT OF WRITTEN TEST WEIGHS FOR 40%, WHILE THE ORAL INTERVIEW WEIGHS FOR THE REMAINING 60%. |
