Course overview
This course provides students with knowledge and skills in how to model and analyse the motion of particles and rigid bodies as a foundation for dynamic analysis of mechanical systems, as well as introduction to basic mechanical vibrations. It will be based on foundational knowledge on engineering mechanics and modeling introduced earlier. The theory of dynamics acquired on this course will be applied on practical examples through simulations and analysis of mechanical systems. This will form basis for further learning of acoustics, vibrations, design of mechanical systems and advanced fluid mechanics.
- Kinematics And Kinetics Of A Particle
- Kinematics Of A Rigid Body
- Kinetics Of A Rigid Body
Course learning outcomes
- Explain the fundamental concepts and principles of engineering dynamics
- Apply various analytical techniques to solve and analyse problems related to particles.
- Apply various analytical techniques to solve and analyse problems related to rigid bodies and mechanisms.
- Use experimental methodologies and computer tools to analyse real world engineering dynamics problems
