Course Description: | Kinematics of particles and rigid bodies: absolute motion, relative motion. Kinetics of particles; equations of motion, work- energy and impulsive- momentum. Kinetics of rigid bodies: Euler’s equation, plan motion of rigid bodies, kinetic energy of rigid bodies. Introduction to the dynamic of vibrating system. |
Course Objectives: | The goal of this course is to develop the ability in students to evaluate fundamental engineering problems in a simple manner by creating free body diagrams and to determine the dynamic behavior of structures by utilizing equilibrium principles under dynamic loading conditions, as well as equilibrium equations based on these principles. |
BASIC CONCEPTS OF THE COURSE
|
1 | Mechanics is the physical science concerned with the behavior of bodies that are acted upon by forces |
2 | Dynamics, which deals with the accelerated motion of a body. |
3 | Force, Moment, Momentum, Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration |
